a pretty word for a pretty idea; the notion of respecting yourself and the society in which you reside based on your behavior; expectation? politeness.
equiquette is very important skill to have in the moment of going to a dinner party> you wouldn’t want to be rude to the host or any of the guest by your lack of etiquette. You have to remember to be polite and not to burp.
use proper etiquette the older lady sniffled in my ear. leaned back slouched in my chair. this is proper etiquette for me grandma. we are no where fancy. the dining room of our own homes. why must you push the conformist away young lady? because you are are not living.
Being nice and polite, tucking your shirt in, being nice to snobby people. Something that people use as rules of how to behave in front of other people. Like dont pick your nose… or eat it…
This is a word used to describe politeness and courtesy. It reminds me of old fashioned novels and tea parties and movies in black and white. Recently i watched Gilmore Girls and this word reminds me of Emily Gilmore, the grandmother, who puts a heavy emphasis on the importance of etiquette. Etiquette is a hard word to spell. I was typing very quickly until I had to pause and write down that word.
Politeness. Manners. Emily Post. Using a napkin and keeping your elbows off the table. Being welcoming. Making other people comfortable. What else? Where does the word come from? It sounds French.
Sometimes, it seems like they look at me as if I’m an alien. They let their etiquette get in the way of saying what they really think though, which is better than the one’s who have to no problem saying what they think. Those are the loose cannons. The ones who knock everyone around them down and laugh, but somehow are unpredictable about it. People like this make me wonder who thought of high school and wonder, “What the hell were they thinking?!”
well the fork goes next to the other fork which are both on the left of the third fork, which lies next to the beautifully decorated plate of food that i would have to eat five helpings of to quench my hunger. etiquette.
I think etiquette means that you have good manners and you are lady like and polite. falsfjldkfjalkfjlakdfjldkfjalkdfjlkasdjflakdfjldkjflakdfjlakdfjlakjflakdjflaksdjfoiertwqu rcowqcor weorweirjwlejrlej lj l fjlsjflsjaljf ajlafj l ldjfldjljlj aldjfaljf ljffjalfj lkj lakj ldjfldj. alfjaldfj lkj adlf jadlsfj salfjsd/fa kj . lafj dkfja lsfjasdfpfkjasldf j. lkjldjf sfjadifljf ;lAJFL;SKFJDKJFSDKFljdfl lasd.jdf laljdlsfj ldfj lsdf jsdj , lkj alsjfaldfasdjf lj ldjfalsjf/ ldfj ldsjf alfj. ldkfj lasjfasdfljarowiu rsdkf ljlaseiofklwejfkjkjskfkdjfkdjfkdjfkjdkfjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjkdfjlsajf alsfj salfj.lfj asljf ljflasfjlasjflljkjdl fjasdlfjlaksdjlkjld fkjfldjfljdfldfj; ljfldkfjkdljflskk kldjdlfjslfjls lasj flasjfasf/asfj.. .jflsdfj sdfjsfj sdfjlsdjfjalsjf.
The world is a lot of jumbled customs and organizations of people, nothing more. So when someone makes a faux pas in a situation, he is not necessarily doing anything inherently wrong, his style of etiquette simply mismatches with that of his situation. Expectations are nothing improper, they simply exist.
Manners and etiquette are the basics of civilized society, and they portray a sense of self pride and contentment when done correctly on a daily basis, for they promote a yearning to do better for one’s self. It is best to accomplish all there is to learn about etiquette, because the skills you learn now will be carried with you forever.
it’s simple and clean and comes down to some kind of a manner of being polite and gentle. I mean at least that’s what I think. being gentle and graceful and polite, yes I think that’s it.
I was taught etiquette as a child–don’t eat with your mouth full; cross your legs; always wear a slip. As an adult I find that those things I found so constricting about etiquette as a child have helped me to be at ease as an adult. Etiquette, then, isn’t a a way to hold you back, but it is a way to allow you the freedom to let your soul out, without the unsophisticated notion of crumbs on your shirt.
Perfect, i always had to be perfect, the way i walk, talk and eat. They expect so much of me its so hard i dont know what to do, because i am in love with you, the boy they all hate but i love you, your hair your smile. The poor boy and the rich girl with high maintenece. It will never work…
fork on the left, on top of the napkin
spoon and fork on the right
pass the salt and pepper together as a unit
spoon or fork above the plate is for dessert
don’t make slurping noises
always pass dishes to the left
don’t blow your nose at the table
A lot of people don’t have this. It reminds me of English class senior year. Alexandra and I were just talking about that. I miss high school sometimes. I hope I get that English class. Lets rage tonight. That does not describe this word at all. Nope, not southern belle at all. Moma would be mad. Daddy would be too!
Etiquette is quite important although most people tend to forget about it. I know of this book that contains lots of little anecdotes on Southern Etiquette, like for weddings, deb balls, and dinner parties. It’s basically a dying trait. Etiquette is also much more than simply having good manners.
Etiquette. Folded napkins and perfectly placed silverware. I am not much for etiquette. My clumsy hands clang and bash against the porcelain dishes. My words are slang-ridden and unintelligible.
I have no concern for etiquette. I’ve neither the energy nor the time to focus on learning what is the correct way to get around in this world and work with others.
I know nothing about proper etiquette when it comes to relationships. Rather, I know nothing about etiquette in general. I do know how to smile and be polite to strangers. I’m not very good at hiding my feelings, however. The way I maneuver relationships is simply to be me. No bullshit.
Etiquette…Ah, the way of manners. What I really hate, cuz some manners are need (thank you, your welcome, don’t slurp, blah blah) I don’t get all the stiffness intended for girls. REally? REALLY? ReAlLy?
Some people have all the nerve. They gossip, and slander, and yet, for some reason, they expect others to maintain their own sense of etiquette, and keep their thoughts of THEM to themselves.
i hate it, old people bang on about it all the time saying girls need more of it. no we know how to behave but you cant go living your life like that full of more rules and regulations. you need to live you life.
What distinguishes us from the lesser of species. It sets apart the better man from the man who doesn’t care. It is poise and passion and grace. It is following the rules that man made to keep themselves in check.
The fork goes perpendicular to the plate, balanced exactly on the tip. If it moves to the right the host is insulted; if it moves to the left then the same for the food. The spoons are suspended from the ceiling, three feet up precisely from the guest’s head. The knives are embedded in the eyes of the guest, and the host as well as the guest moves their head against his at the end of the evening.
Etiquette is when you do what is expected of you very well and in well dressed places. Places like a fancy ball, a dinner with dignitaries, or going to meet the queen. One countries etiquette is another countries offense. If you are among gracious people you don’t need etiquette. It is important to make an attempt to please but have the courage to not have to. Etiquette is having the pleasurable advice of someone who has been there before. If you don’t know what is proper move slowly and watch the host or hostess and follow their lead.
She entered the room, looking like an entirely different person. The new dress and shoes were uncomfortable and she didn’t like the way heels made her feel like she was leaning forward. “There,” Ellis smiled. “Now isn’t that nice? This has been a stunning success!” I would make some sort of commentary about the current delusion of uniformity in a “proper society,” but when you choose such an over stated metaphor, what’s the point?
For whatever reason, she had the audacity to tell me that I did not have any etiquette. She had always acted as though she was above all others in this world. Yet one day, something came over her and she realized that she was wrong; now her fate will forever be in the hands of those from whom she begs forgiveness.
a system of behaviors that are determined to be appropriate in specific situations. they are assumed to be universally applicable and when not followed people are looked down upon and questioned as weired. although in some instances they may been seen as progressive and ahead of the current time.
and one does not drop
the mask of perfection
not even for a moment
and never does one
kilt up one’s skirts, kick up one’s heels
and run through sunlit fields, hair flowing, skin glowing
in a thoroughly unladylike manner.
That is something that is lacking in America right now, all though i have to admit that I am rue to hold the door for anyone anymore because there is nothing in it for me. Maybe a curt nod from an old woman, but she could care less. Maybe that is a generational gap thing that hasn’t been tapped yet. I should try and purposefully not hold the door.
etiquette helps have good manners,
but nothings based on that
etiquette dont always help find good oportunities
never think its that important

etiquette….uhhh…etiquette?
Etiquette.
We are expected to act accordingly; however, was it really always this way?
Remember a time when it was simpler.
When everything was without a care.
When etiquette was just how we cared.

etiquett,
Etiquette a much maligned word but a much needed action for all of us. Etiquette might not save the world but it would probably seem like it did.
One speaks in the first person
without pronouns
and one does not drop
the mask of perfection
not even for a moment
and never does one
kilt up one’s skirts, kick up one’s heels
and run through sunlit fields, hair flowing, skin glowing
in a thoroughly unladylike manner.
