If you have seen Emmy nominated series from Shonda Rhimes Bridgerton, you have come across several words and phrases that might have brought confusion.
But the most used word in the series has been ‘Ton’ that has been used on several occasions; and many thought that they might have heard it wrong, or there is a typo, or maybe they are indeed referring to the town in short, but now they used it but not for the town but with other meaning.
We are here to decode the word for you and solve this puzzle because it is not always what we think it is.
What Does Ton Mean?
The ton is a term that originated in the 1800s and is the short form for the French expression ‘Le Bon Ton’. It was used to describe the high society of London. The meaning of it translates to good manners. The ton refers to who is who of the high British society.
The ton requires to drink the bottle of etiquette and form in all its possible way and as much as possible. They should know how to talk, walk, greet, nod, address everyone and everything that can count as good manners and etiquette.
The show throws tons literally, from the costume to the dialect. Even in the dialogue, the characters are referred to as the ‘talk of the ton’, which means the people of high society who are in the spotlight. The tone indeed reflects the Regency era life to the audience.
