Did you know you are quoting Shakespeare if you say: 1. If you cannot understand my argument, and declare "It’s Greek to me," 2. If you claim to be "more sinned against than sinning," 3. If you act "more in sorrow than in anger," 4. if your wish is "father to the thought," 5. if your property has "vanished into thin air," 6. If you have ever refused "to budge an inch," 7. or suffered from "green-eyed jealousy," 8. if you have "played fast and loose," 9. if you have been "tongue tied," 10. "a tower of strength," 11. "hoodwinked," 12. or "in a pickle;" 13. if you have "knitted your brows," 14. "made a virtue of necessity," 15. insisted on "fair play," 16. "slept not one wink," 17. "stood on ceremony," 18. "laughed yourself into stitches," 19. had "short shrift," 20. "cold comfort," 21. or "too much of a good thing;" 22. if you have "lived in a fool’s paradise," 23. why, "be that as it may," 24. "the more fool you," 25. for "it is a foregone conclusion," 26. that you are "as luck would have it," 27. If you think "it is high time," 28. and that "that is the long and short of it," 29. if you believe that "the game is up," 30. and that "the truth will out,"31. even if it involves "your own flesh and blood," 32. if you "lie low," 33. "till the crack of doom," 34. because you "suspect foul play," 35. if you have "your teeth set on edge," 36. "at one fell swoop," 37. "without rhyme or reason," 38. then "to give the devil his due," 39. "if the truth were known," 40. "for surely you have a tongue in your head," 41. Even if you "bid me good riddance," 42. "and send me packing," 43. if you wish I were "dead as a doornail," 44. if you think I am "a laughing stock," 45. "the devil incarnate," 46. "a stony-hearted villain" 47. "bloody-minded" 48. or "a blinking idiot," 49. then –"by Jove," 50. "Oh Lord," 51. "tut, tut," 52. "for goodness’ sake," 53. "what the dickens," 54. "it is all one to me," for… YOU ARE QUOTING SHAKESPEARE
