Talk like Shakespeare Day! »
Some helpful hints to help you address others with the same snootiness as Shakespeare himself would:
3. Men are Sirrah, ladies are Mistress, and your friends are all called Cousin.
6. Verse for lovers, prose for ruffians, songs for clowns.
7. When in doubt, add the letters ‘eth’ to the end of verbs (he runneth, he trippeth, he falleth).
10. When wooing lads: try dressing up like a man. If that fails, throw him in the Tower, banish his friends and claim the throne.
