I have to say, Shakespeare really does have a use in real life, like for example to insult someone with the highest possible manner, or in quotes.
“Her face is not worth sunburning.” from Henry V.ย ย ย Meaning someones soooo ugly the sun don’t even bother giving him/her a sunburn.ย
“Villain, I have done thy mother.โ from Titus Andronicus.ย ย ย This is quite possibly the origin of โyour mamaโ jokes Here the character responds to another character by hurling insults toward his mother.
โI am sick when I do look on thee.โ from A Midsummer Nightโs Dream.ย ย ย Meaning you make me sick, or youโre so ugly it makes me sick.
“May thy wisdom beest liketh the chives in springeth, which art sh’rt but haply shall has’t a chance to groweth” from Pepsi is Awesome.ย ย ย Okay I made this one up lol
“Thou art as fat as butter” from Henry IV, Part 1.ย ย ย ย Straight to the point. Nothing to explain here.
OK that’s it. Help me get to Top 5
Donโt forget the insults levelled at Caliban in our reading of The Tempest and his own โthrice-double assโ gem ๐
@picklez_the_cat has another good one to share from MacBeth.
Nice
