If in doubt I will always guess Shakespeare - and be right more often than not.

Nope Sandra, I actually didn't! 🙂

But, that's a pretty cool fun-fact. 👍🏻

Birgit said...

I wonder from which play?

I'm not a Shakespeare fan. Have never read a single thing by him (hangs head in shame). So of course, I had no idea, but it's great trivia.

Jamie Ghione said...

Another term I did not know originated from the Bard.

Sandra Cox said...

The Tempest and others. I'm going to have to start including the play since that question pops up regularly.
Hugs received and returned.

I did not know that, but I do remember studying the play in a class many years ago :) hugs

Sandra Cox said...

He used it in The Tempest and others.

Adam said...

I didn’t know that

Sandra Cox said...

There's a lot of his works, I'm sorry to say, I'm not familiar with.

Sandra Cox said...

He's certainly responsible for much of our language isn't he, Jamie.

Sandra Cox said...

Ha. Ha. He probably doesn't:)

Sandra Cox said...

That sounds like it was fun.

Sandra Cox said...

Hey, Adam. How are you and Daisy?

Annalisa Crawford said...

I wonder how long it took his expressions and phrases to become common usage?

Sandra Cox said...

That's sure the truth:)

Sandra Cox said...

That's a good question, Annalisa.
Can you imagine your sayings living through time like that?

Jeanie said...

Nope!
