Everyday Expressions |
Have you ever wondered who started those expressions we've been using in everyday life? Well, you don't have to wonder any longer, because according to "The Friendly Shakespeare" by Norrie Epstein, there's a list of everyday expressions that come straight from Shakespeare's plays. And wouldn't you like to know you've been quoting Shakespeare's all along?These are some of the most common phrases, words, and everyday expressions that were first used, and in most cases invented, by Shakespeare. I chose to post only the most common ones for fear that I'd bore you to death. You can see Norrie Epstein's full list if you so desire.
