Seriously, Just Don't: A Comically Annotated Guide to Victorian Social Fails


Overview

Do you say ""Pants""? You are vulgar. Do you say ""Vest""? You are a savage. You might think you are a polite person. You say ""please"" and ""thank you."" You generally try to be nice. According to Oliver Bell Bunce, you are wrong. Writing under the pseudonym ""Censor"" in 1883, Bunce published a tiny book titled Don't. It was not a guide on what to do; it was a guide on what not to do. It is the ultimate collection of Victorian ""Icks."" Seriously, Just Don't takes Bunce's pettiest, most specific prohibitions and roasts them for the 21st century. Learn how to avoid social exile: The Grammar Police: Why saying ""Gent,"" ""Pants,"" or ""Fix"" is a mark of low breeding. The Table Manners: Why folding your napkin is an insult to the host. The Art of Ghosting: How to ""Cut"" an acquaintance in the street without saying a word. The Public Stare: Why looking at a woman after she has passed you is a crime. So, sit up straight, hide your ankles, and whatever you do... Don't.
