No, I didn't. In which piece? Hugs, Valerie
No. I'm amazed how many expressions originated with the bard.
He certainly left his mark didn't he? No I didn't know that Sandra,Have a good day and take care.Yvonne.
nice article :)
Interesting. I didn't know, but am not surprised. If asked where a phrase originated Shakespear is generally a safe bet.
Interesting, I love his works !
A pretty pickle ... so many phrases emanate from his times. Stay safe - Hilary
Nope, but that's a cool fun-fact! 👌🏻🙂
I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me it would come from Shakespeare.
No, but he was clever, that Will!
I did not know that and I wonder from which piece this comes from. Funny, pickle,in German, means a pimple

Shakespeare had so many great sayings used today.
He seems to be the father of English phrases, doesn't he?
The Tempest.Weird about pickle and pimple.
His phrases have certainly stood the test of time, haven't they, CJ?
Can you imagine, words that you put in print, repeated down through the centuries.
Oh indeed:)
The Tempest.Hugs received and returned.
ha - No, I did not know that. I hope you are having a peaceful week.
He did indeed:)
Always in the mood for education!
No I did not. What caper was that in?
Thank you, Azka.
You're right, EC. I find it fascinating that the majority of well used phrases originated with one man.
He's the master isn't he, Natalia.
That's for sure, Hil.
I knew that.
I've heard that, and it's pretty neat 🤩
Glad you liked it, HG:)
Heh. Indeed:)
Thank you and wishing you the same, True.
I knew it, but I didn't remember it until you said so
I have never been a fan of Shakespeare, so that may be why I never knew that till NOW. I LOVE all this trivia.
I didn't know that … but I do now!All the best Jan
A definite thumbs up to that, Susan.
The Tempest:)
And that does not surprise me, Adam:)
Good on you for knowing Thursday's factoid, Rockin Ro:)
