That man was an amazing writer I mean he made up words and people just went with it like yeah ok that's a word now. He made up over 1700 words. You know Drag Queen yeah he made that up. It was a stage direction. DR.A.G. it was used when a male character was to appear in female clothes. So it was (enter dressed as girl). And he would write drag for short.
He even invented the saying Skim milk. lol
O and you know Swag it comes from the word swagger which is yet another one of his so you can blame him for that lol
He wrote in the play much Ado about nothing that Benedick tells Beatrice he wanted to live in her heart die in her lap and be buried in her eyes. Which means he wanted her to love only him cum on her and be forever hers.
Plus I always giggled at the fact that Benedick's name is pretty much who he is he has been a dick to Beatrice.
Lmao the "what, you egg" reminds me of my grade 11 english teacher who used to have laminated name magnets for the characters in every shakespeare play she would teach. It was to keep track of who was reading for which part in class. As macduff's child she literally had "Egg" as a name magnet.
I really wish in HS we read more besides Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar and Hamlet Those three are like... the least fun IMO. Julius Caesar and Hamlet are good, but just not fun. Romeo and Juliet just... ugh. A Midsummer Night's Dream in particular would have been awesome, since most of the people in my HS english class weren't the brightest and most of it would go over their heads, so listening to the explanations from the teacher would have been double hilarious.
Also.. this from Henry V:
PISTOL
Pistol’s cock is up,
And flashing fire will follow.
Well the south african author John van de Ruit ended his final book in the 'spud' series with "exit, pursued by a bear" and while it may not be a biography he still kinda lived the dream
