- The Victorian era saw the advent of numerous political reforms, social changes and the world’s first industrial revolution.
However, the Victorians had some other, stranger customs whose common observance died out long ago. These weird bits of etiquette range from the mostly harmless to the straight-up appalling and they paint a pretty clear picture about how far the Victorians were willing to go in the name of what they considered decorum.

"Babe, I haven't cheated on you. I've been eating my cornflakes."
"Then why did you ask the lady next door if you could inspect her necklace? Huh?"
The funny thing is, Kellogg's brother went into business with a guy named Post and made Kellogg's Corn Flakes and added sugar to them to improve the taste...but the Health nut Kellogg detested any form of sugar....and sued his brother. The court found in favor of the brother, deciding that he couldn't be denied the right to use his own name.
And who’s teeth did you eat them cornflakes with?

Fainting. Bring back fainting and swooning. Awkward conversation? Swoon. Wanting to leave a boring gathering, swoon. Employer gives you too much work? Swoon.
I think the modern equivalent is being shook
🤣🤣🤣
Lol. Exactly.
somebody swoons? swoon too to show your manners
“Oh the vapors” 😂😂
“Passing out was an acceptable form of expressing your emotional state.“
Why is this no longer acceptable?!?! “Shit this is stressful, I’ll just pass out and not deal with it right now” sounds great.
Ikr!! Passing out is an underrated expression! 🥵
@Busy Bodies! Bring back the corsets so I can dramatically faint whenever we'd have an exam!!
@Busy Bodies!
It wasn't just corsets. Women used fainting to manipulate those around them, often to get attention. Some men loved it because it made women seem weak.
Sounds like me with my narcolepsy
Hell...I be constantly unconscious at work!😵

To be fair, if you were full of a non-savory food, would you necessarily have a libido?
The fact that photos of Victorian times women breastfeeding exist but we have to censor them in 2020 shows we aren't really advancing on a lot of things 🙄
We're prudes in a lot of ways compared to early century civilizations like Rome, Greece, Egypt, India, Japan, Sumerians, Mayans, Vikings, Aztecs e.t.c.
Absolutely weird indeed
I'm 60 and I can tell you that in the 60s & 70s such things were censored much less than now. The 1980s came along and everything started getting conservative again. What is wrong with such a beautiful natural function as breastfeeding a baby? I am often startled by how prudish U.S. culture remains after all this time.
Actually it does show we've progressed because this is a public channel meant for everyone. It's not totally censored and it's not totally open and showing. It's right down the middle of the road to be equal for everyone. whereas we have an infinite amount of sources of free nudity for those that are in favor of that. Nudity of all types from all types of people and situations. The victorians would've never had that

I was a hospice nurse before I retired. I would always offer to cut a small lock of hair from my patient for the family members at the time of death. I never had anyone decline that offer. Also, often times at the time of death, the patient might shed a single tear. I would collect the tear on a clean, white handkerchief (I carried them with me) and present the 'tear cloth' to the family. Families were very grateful to have a physical memory of their loved ones.
I wish I would have done that. My sister styled my mom’s hair while my mom was in hospice and I remember feeling how soft it was. I would have loved to have a little bit of her hair.
I am a former trauma 1/er nurse. Couldnt keep up with it due to chronic health issues n after having a family.i now work part time as a home care hospice nurse n a few hrs a week as a dosing nurse at a methadone clinic. Ive been in nursing overall for close to 20yrs n never thought of that going to start asking my hospice patients families about the hair! Thank u!
I'm an ER Nurse. I wish I'd thought of this. Thank you for the idea! I think I'm going to start offering this, too!
You sound like a Wonderful, Caring, Loving human being. Thank You SO MUCH, for just being YOU. ❤❤❤❤

Victorian Era were the concept of Consumerism began! This is were people began buying stuff even if it's useless, unimportant, or plainly because they were baited by the emotional rewards it offers.
Affluence from the industrial revolution made it possible.

Yep, like offering up a dowery to be married without knowing if she was good at yelling at the help to do the dishes. Needed a try before you buy option.

@Native Marauder Because Abe Lincoln isn't as controversial these days in comparison to the confederacy and its symbols.
@Native Marauder They were both good in different ways. Abe didn't really focus on the economy, he was trying to end the war that was pitting Americans against each other. Its far easier to focus on economical changes when you don't have to deal with a war.
Tape worms make wonderful and easy-to-keep pets. They go where YOU go, and eat what YOU eat. Pigeons are easy keepers too.
Perfect starter pet for any kid 😂😂😂
Also they're quiet and don't bark at the mailman, or leave hairballs on the floor. The perfect pet.
I really wish that the mourning clothes were discussed a bit more! Like how they’d sometimes mourn for over a year, and that the longer you mourned the higher you were perceived societally. The black dresses were processed and dyed with chemicals, and would expose the wearer and everyone near them to arsenic, chromium, formaldehyde, ammonia, flame retardants and more.

They're going to say manners were considered old-fashioned and unnecessary, and we didn't understand how to use the internet.
There's a big difference between "etiquette" and "trends". Etiquette is where you put the silverware on the table. Trends are most of what's in this video, lol.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN LOL STOP IT
Most of them are though.
Etiquette
the set of rules or customs that control accepted behavior in particular social groups or social situations
@@CassidyStarke The key point in the definition of "etiquette" is that it is a set of rules, customs that have been designed to control acceptable behavior. Etiquette is what most of us think of as manners, how to be a good host, a good neighbor, etc. It's things like knocking before entering the bathroom, not putting your elbows on the table while you eat, or not wearing bright colors to a funeral.
"Trends" are things that are popular or socially accepted at the time, things that are in fashion or make a person seem more popular, educated, attractive, etc. by the partaking. Most trends do not last very long and are not dictated by social rules, but by social interest.
Using human hair in fashion accessories, eating cornflakes, consuming tapeworms for weight loss, using lard or arsenic as beauty products; these are all things that were popular (or at least a fad) in some parts of the world at the time. Think of the people in the 80's who wore crop tops, teased up their hair, wore shoulder-pads, and thought "Aids" was a good name for a chocolate diet candy. Nobody thought you were an asshole for not wearing a crop top or styling your hair more plainly. Maybe they'd think you were a square or uncool, but that's about it.
Same difference. Trends, not etiquette.
@@StargazerSkyscraper
So you’re building your whole argument on “what most of us think of”
My comment is the by the Cambridge dictionary.
Etiquette aren’t always about manners. They’re also about customs (see definition) the at you are expected to participate in if you’re part of a certain group.
Most of the things seen in the video were costumes not trends.
@@CassidyStarke No, I'm not building my argument on "what most of us think of" and I'm not discounting the Cambridge definition of the word "etiquette". In fact, I was agreeing with it, and explaining why it proves my point and not yours. You simply seem to be misunderstanding or willfully misrepresenting the Cambridge definition (and what was said in my comment just now) because, for some reason, I guess you're really interested in defending the virtue of some random list video, LOL.
I once visited a museum that had a collection of 'memorial hair art', and I have to admit, they were not only beautiful, but the intricacy with which they were fashioned was amazing.
I used to think the hair jewelry was gross. Now I feel that it might be comforting to have a small locket or bracelet with my mother's hair.
@@annieoakley2925 I think we Americans have lost a lot of appreciation for 'memento mori', but I've come to view it as comforting, and not at all grotesque. :)
I've seen one that was a necklace with a heart shaped knot of hair as the pendant. It was pretty cool.
I don’t think the hair locker is that weird. My mom has a piece of hair from my first haircut in her jewelry box.
Mine too!
Same.

Real talk: asking someone to take their necklace off so you can look at it is way, _way_ more polite than just abruptly leaning into someone's personal space and staring intently at their chest.
Or worse, actually trying to touch it and hold it up to see.

Actually the nipple protectors still exist today, but they are more to protect against injuries in women who are breastfeeding. And they are made of silicone.
This is so true! I even used one whenI had my first child. Helps a lot!
I thought they had tassles and were made for shaking what your momma gave you 😅
It's not that popular in the pharmacy here in malaysia. Probably the high birthing group here (endogenous group) are more hardy
I live in Germany, where it actually happens more often now. It makes it easier for the mother and the child to breastfeed.

One thing they did get right was building solid and lasting structures. I own a Victorian era home of Italian style and it's as strong today as it was over 120 years ago when it was built. She's three brick width thick, 8"x8" timber beams, yellow pine flooring. She's strong and beautiful. I spent $14,000 this year renovating it from decades of neglect and she came out better than ever despite years of neglect - a testament to her Victorian era builders and craftsmen.
You know you love your home when you use the pronoun SHE to describe her 😅
Only $14K?? Seems like you couldn't get the house painted or put in a new kitchen for that amount of money. Sounds like a lovely place, though
1:22 - I'm amazed he was allowed to say that out loud!
4:52 - Making love on a flight of stairs sounds like a good way to have a bad fall, never mind an unhealthy kid!
6:40 - We used to have an old Victorian hair wreath. It had many different colors of hair from many different long-dead relatives. A couple of friends, when I told them what it was, said, "Ew, that's so gross, how can you stand to have that on your wall??" but I'd grown up with it and had gotten used to it long before it ever occurred to me that it could be considered "gross". My mom grew up with it too and she and her siblings referred to it as, "the grand old Hairloom". (Like heirloom, if anyone didn't get it.)
Imagine asking a girl to remove her necklace to observe its beauty in today's era .... 😂😁😂😀😁😁😂😀✌️
Even to this day, I would consider it more polite and respectful than simply gawking at someone´s neck, who may be taken aback or embarrassed by it. It also shows deference to their spouse, boy or girlfriend, or parent that may be present. Also, there exist men that are all too glad to punch someone out if they think they´re being too familiar with or flirting with their wife.

The weirdest thing is that in 21st century you censored 19th century photos of breastfeeding mothers. o.O
Truth. We clearly have no business laughing at Victorians if we think breastfeeding is somehow pornographic.
It's because TH-cam censorship, don't blame him blame TH-cam for threatening to take his income because he showed a woman feeding her newborn
@@MFLimited the victorians would've never had this shown in as public a place as this. And it's right in the middle of the road in terms of what it shows, it's not fully censored nor fully showing... It's meant to be a compromise so that everyone feels safe. Plus nudity and full view breastfeeding is in full abundance in an infinite number of other places even on TH-cam. That in itself shows a more progressive attitude than the victorians
@@PPikes breastfeeding was not seen as taboo in Victorian times and you certainly could do it in public with lots of people around. It wasn't until wasn't until formula became the norm that people got weird about it.
It's because of TH-cam rules
The nipple shields are still in use today, typically made from silicone as a shield for injured nips or to help baby latch better. Even the theory behind the pooling of milk is correct, breast milk does actually aid in healing and soothing tissue. So they weren't far off other than the lead 😆
The more we know 🤘🏼😅
They'll probably know some negative effect from silicone 150 years from now. Lol
The silver part might not be such a bad idea either as long as it's actually silver. But if having a silver tongue means your mouth tells lies easily does having silver nipples mean the boobs lie easily?

I'd love to just pass out when someone gives me bad news. "zoom call in 10 minutes" and just pass out for the next 2 hours #goals
The hair thing... Keep in mind this was from before photography and is actually a lot older than the victorian eara. People wanted a way to remember loved ones just as much as we do and paintings were expensive.

*there was an episode of the Twilight Zone (from 1988 season 3 episode 7) called The Hellgramite Method in which a tapeworm(ish) creature was ingested that totally removed any effects and therefore the enjoyment a person experienced from drinking...the drawback being that the creature once consumed feeds on the alcohol and will continue to grow and eventually kill its host but can be forced into hibernation if the person stops drinking but the withdraw will be unbelievably painful but effective...if the person ever starts drinking again the creature will reawaken and start growing again...a great if not somewhat unnerving episode..you can find it posted on yt)*
Reminded me of an Untold Stories of the ER episode I saw 🤢
Passing out to let others know what’s on your mind is such a mood.
There’s a Greek saying that goes “you have a tapeworm in your stomach” when someone eats too much! I guess back then this phrase would be literal ...😂
I used to love when one of the 3 stooges would order burnt toast and a rotten egg to eat. They'd say they had a tape worm, and it was good enough for him. That always cracked me up.
I think we should bring back passing out... perfect way to avoid awkward situations 😝
It would be more fun to cause others to pass out/faint...😏
These arent etiquette. They are interesting but would be called customs or beliefs rather than etiquette.
Yes, I agree with that. Except for it being seen as obscene to express sexual desires, even if someone is not being creepy about it.

I would love to see a video on weird Victorian inventions! One good one is the bustle chair; a combination of a bustle and a chair in the 1880's.
Actually nipple shields are still used today but tend to be made of medical grade silicon. I used one when nursing my son. They can be used to protect sore or chapped nipples, or if a woman has inverse nipples (ie they sort of go instead of out when aroused or nursing) it can help to midegete the situation. This can help the baby to latch. Nipple shields can also be used for babies that may be a slightly premature and have trouble getting a latch.
As a kid, I always wished that I had lived in Victorian times. Mind you, I also wanted to be a farmer and a Detroit Lions cheerleader. 🤦🏻♀️

Having a locket containing your loved ones hair isn’t weird, I think it’s just a sentimental act of someone in mourning, and a way of still feeling close to your love.

I wonder if it was because life expectancy was still comparatively low, and diseases we easily treat now lurked around every corner and frequently killed. They still didn't understand bacteria and viruses well, and medical treatment was often deadly. Giving birth was still about the most dangerous time in women's lives. The focus on regimen and ritual may have given them a sense of having some level of control. Also, the reputation of a person was still just about the most valuable thing most people had. Even the poorest were shown respect due to an impeccable reputation. Insulting a person's character was almost a crime. It could be a society wide case of OCD...having odd practices for the purposes of keeping bad things one feels beyond their control from happening. It was common for couples to lose. Ore than one young child, men to lose wives to childbearing, and kids to lose both parents before being grown. It was a frightening time, and ritual may have helped them cope.
There is has also been a resurgence in Victorian type mourning jewelery

That era had the creepiest people.
It had some fantastic people too though. Let's not lose sight of that, we must remember that EVERY era had both bad AND good people. In a way, other than maybe a few shifted views (such as civil rights/slavery, sanitation, etc.), not much has changed in western society in the last 150 years. We still have materialism everywhere, petty squabbles and fights, greedy people hurting others, working conditions that in some cases are unsafe, heck our elites even use overseas sweatshop factories (so maybe slavery ISN'T fully purged from our cultures).

The Post Mortem photos was popular. Many photographers make good money take pictures of the dead ones in the family. Often express them to look alive. Some of the images are macabre with dead children and their parents.
Well done ! And thanks for the laughs😂💙👍
narrator is so witty! Makes me laugh. I love Weird History. So enlightening and educational. Gives me something to learn most days without it being too taxing. Very enjoyable.
Expecting to seriously learn history but instead i laughed so much 🤣🤣🤣
None of this is etiquette. I was expecting things like, "don't criticize your host by not eating spoiled meat", or "don't serve with your left hand".
Your writing is terrific and your delivery is so amusing. Appreciate the wry wit and subtle humour, well done
