Bridgerton Life / The Language of the Fan

[@williamcopic817]

haha! I had no idea there were so many "rules" and customs with the fan!

[@The_Brit_Girls]

It’s incredible, isn’t it? I guess it was one way for ladies to try and communicate in a non-verbal way, when verbal communication was denied. Thanks for watching!

[@williamcopic817]

For sure. Very interesting!

[@TorgieBear58]

I had no idea how much you can communicate with a fan! So interesting! Makes me appreciate them a bit more than I have. I'm starting to get interested in this show! Keep it up you guys!

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Jarrett, thank you so much for binge-watching all these videos! We really appreciate your support! Thanks for your feedback - and hope you enjoy the show!

[@haleyhenahan8018]

This was so interesting! I never knew that fans could communicate…and there were so many signals!

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Thank you, Haley! It must have been so easy to give the wrong signal by mistake, or to interpret the signal incorrectly! A bit of a recipe for disaster, lol!!

Wonderful!! Thank you!! 💖

I haven't watched Bridgerton yet - dying to, just not had the time! But I had no idea there was a fan language, I love it!

[@The_Brit_Girls]

I think you’ll enjoy it! I know, how cool is that? Thank you, Ash!!

The flowers & sleeping Layla add a nice touch to this charming episode. Nowadays ladies can use their Covid mask to bring attention to their eyes....

Thank you for your lovely compliments, Don! Haha, oh yes of course, ladies can now use their Covid mask to bring attention to their eyes! Brilliant, lol!!

so elegant :D the fan closing sounded very crisp, so good job lucy! the practice paid off lmao :D

I heard about your channel on Ian Good's video...I look forward to checking out your content! Awesome video!

[@The_Brit_Girls]

That’s great, thank you for stopping by! Love the name of your channel - will be checking it out!

[@FlourEggsYeast]

I wish I had Netflix!!! This show sounds so good. I’m such a fan of Pride & Prejudice. Very well done with music, outfits & white flowers. Well done Lucy & Julie

[@The_Brit_Girls]

We would definitely recommend this show, and Netflix in particular! You guys seem far too busy to watch much TV! We absolutely love Pride and Prejudice too! Thank you for noticing our decor, outfits and music, Theresa! 🥰

[@jfergs.3302]

Boy, dating was tough back in the day. If it's true 'All the Nice Girls Love a Sailor' i wonder if any of the ladies took up a second fan, and used semaphore. Might've been easier... Another fun, Interesting vid ladies.

[@The_Brit_Girls]

It certainly was! Haha, semaphore with a second fan would have been a good move, lol!! Thank you for your great feedback!

[@RebekahFOnlineTeaching]

Woah! This is so cool! I assume both the women and men knew the meaning of the fan code.

[@The_Brit_Girls]

I guess they must have! There must have been a big margin for error on both sides, lol!

Love this series like my top faves!! I am obsessed with this show. I am here for it!😁👏

@@The_Brit_Girls to ladies still use the fan at all today

[@TSGUNCUT]

Love the episode! Tho, if I'm being honest in the Simsational Gent way, this partly reminds me of Valentine's day. You create a product or day, only to use it to boost sales. In the case of this fan, this also boosted the concept of hierarchical societies. I haven't watched the show on Netflix but one of the main guys was on SNL last weekend... no wonder. Lol.

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Thanks Shaun for your thoughtful feedback. It certainly was a hierarchical society, and a very oppressive for women too. Imagine not being allowed to communicate directly with members of the opposite sex?!! The fan was actually a very clever way for women to express themselves. Thank you for watching!

[@TSGUNCUT]

@@The_Brit_Girls I couldn't imagine, actually. 🤔 That's why it's great you all explain it! Lol.

[@victoriagillick7861]

So glad to catch up with this video series. I’m excited that they’re filming more. I’ll be checking in for more things to look for in the series.

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Thank you, Victoria! We’re excited for season 2 too!

[@YourRandomQuestionGuy]

Saw Omid Djalili do a really funny skit about fan usage...it was hilarious!

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Oh will have to check that out for sure! Thanks!

[@auntmanvlogs]

[@iangoodisDMX]

👍 hello my friends. Here to see your awesome video.

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Thank you Ian! Much appreciated! 👍😊

[@ForeverMish26]

I wish I know how to operate a fan like you, Lucy! I knew you could use a fan to flirt but I never realized there was an entire language you could “speak” with it! I mean, I feel like in the 90’s, the best way to get the hate message across if you had a fan would be to close the fan and swing it in a baseball bat like fashion at the head of your enemy. Lol

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Haha, thank you for the compliment! I had a lot of fun practicing! I love your way of communicating the hate message with the fan!! 🤣🤣 That would definitely get the message across!! Lol!

[@camv5193]

Just in time for warmer temperatures fan season in full swing lol

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Haha, that's so true! 😂😂

[@Angela-hn7kt]

Would like to know about calling on someone or promenading...In Bridgerton after a ball they would get many callers. The act of strollingvdown the promenade to be seen. Very interesting.

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Thank you for those great suggestions! We will certainly do a video on those! 👍❤️

[@NathyB1992]

It’s interesting to see how fans were used and how people communicated with them. I often wondered what they were for 😂 maybe we should bring them back? Non verbal communication other than texting or instant messaging is lost nowadays! 🤷🏼‍♂️

How frequently do you & Julie need to flirt with a fan?

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Haha, not too often these days, but it’s worth keeping the practice up!! Lol!! 🤣

[@wencireone]

The best fan scene IMO is from White Christmas the Sisters song

[@The_Brit_Girls]

I agree! I just had to re-watch that scene! So beautiful, their fans definitely put ours to shame! Thanks for referencing that! 👍💖

[@wencireone]

If you want to send a message by fan, write on it 😉

Yep, that works! Lol!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Wow! All those meanings!!! Seems rather dangerous... you could easily be very rude quite accidentally!

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Oh yes, indeed! One slight false move with your fan and you could be in all sorts of trouble!! Lol!!

[@ForeverMish26]

So, serious question though, the “married but bored” action, was that like - inviting or initiating an affair?

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Well, the true message was “married.” We added the “bored” bit for a bit of fun! In all seriousness, the message could be construed in two ways: as a warning to back off or alternatively, as an invite to initiate an affair. Thank you for your question! 👍😄
