    Default 10 Words or Phrases You Wouldn't Believe Shakespeare Invented

    http://www.cracked.com/article_15859...-invented.html

    I knew a few of these but it's really the commentary that kills me:

    Why It's Un-Fucking-Believable:
    We haven't done the research necessary to determine whether people in Shakespeare's time drank skim milk, so we're going to assume that he not only coined a word, but simultaneously launched an entire branch of dairy products. For a modern rap corollary, imagine if the Milkshake Song had invented the word milkshake, and the concept of milkshakes. Pretty unbelievable.
    He also invented the word 'bubbles'.

    Surprisingly, Shakespeare DID invent a lot of words. I knew about 'eyeball' previously, so I know that one is true... but yeah, I think it's real.

    One example they use, skim milk is milk that has not been homogenized. Left alone it separates by itself. Entirely possible. Just how many in that time period had a milkman that delivered refrigerated, homogenized milk? Some of the others I doubt, but will not try to determine yet.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
