On the subject of shakespearean puns
I meant to mention this in the earlier thread, but I had stuff to do, but the phrase “Much Ado about Nothing” is a play on the word, I believe “Nutin”, or somesuch, which at the time was slang for a lady’s special area.
In other words, it’s like, “much ado about sexing”.
This is my story, and I’m sticking to it
I remember it as being the 3
in the “3, 6, 12, wet, dry, abortion” mnemonic.
I care about your fantasy team.
i have NO idea what that means
but it doesn’t sound nice
It's a nerdy joke about shakespeare comedy titles
3" is much ado, 6" is as you like it, 12" is taming of the shrew. wet is midsummer night’s dream, dry is twelfth night. and the last is love’s labours lost.
I care about your fantasy team.
and noting
aka, listening/eavesdropping, which the play is all about
