Victorian Child

A child from the Victorian era, used for making a point that something is utterly ridiculous. This is in reference to the idea that if they were shown the thing in question, they’d be in utter shock and possibly have something like a conniption or a stroke.

“Did you hear about the situation with Vitaly?”
“I swear, if you showed that guy’s content to a Victorian child they would have a heart attack and die on the spot.”
