To be or not to be
Tonight I had the privilege of seeing Shakespeare Man at the local library. He was very entertaining and informative. There were many things that I had either forgotten from my studies or simply never knew. For instance, a number of every day phrases still used today were coined by Shakespeare back in the early 1600s!!! For instance:
Eat me out of house and home.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
Come full circle.
All the world is a stage.
In a pickle.
Flesh and blood.
Hoodwinked.
There were all terms used by Shakespeare that are still used today. That is interesting. *shrug* I really enjoyed it. Highly recommended if you ever get a chance to see him. Audience participation was part of it, too. :)

I have a feeling "come full circle" predates The Bard by a few centuries or 30. The Greeks had a way with words themselves.
