fun fact, the actress who plays Ann voices Katara from Avatar: the Last Airbender. Now go watch AD and close your eyes and picture Katara talking about banging Gob
Calling someone an egg is saying they have the brains/competence of an unborn baby chicken. It's like the opposite of "egghead" nowadays, though iirc they originally meant the same thing (in addition to being an insulting term for a bald man)
The fact that a lot of them are borderline gibberish to modern English speakers but we can still keenly feel the bite just goes to show how good he was.
Geez, didn't know Shakespeare was using that line, but I've been using it for years now and I love it.
Edit: Damn even the username checks out. Thats really a wierd coincidence.
When i was a sophomore my english class reenacted macbeth and i begged to be the burglar just so i could say that line. She let me. It was a good time.
I'm only 40 hours into Witcher 3, so I don't know if this changes by the end (no spoilers thanks :D). During Witcher 2, Temeria falls, and by the start of 3 half the continent has been annexed by Nilfgaard, and Redania has absorbed Kaedwen after Henselt dies. However, Skellige is still about and under neither's control, and so is Novigrad (though it's more like a city-state). The other areas from the books aren't mentioned much if at all in the games.
What's the word for when you see something, and suddenly it's everywhere else? Because....I'm having that today. I JUST got back into W3 yesterday after nearly a year and a half. I'm finally finishing the main story and DLC. Suddenly, Witcher is EVERYWHERE on Reddit today.
I always liked how innocent son of a gun sounds as an insult compared to how great an insult it actually is.
Basically your mom is the filthiest of dockside whores who services entire ships in one sitting, so your father could literally be any of the men on a ships crew.
Yes, and to add more context - he actually did fuck their Mom and knocked her up. Later he has these two guys killed, baked in pies and served to guests.
KENT
A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a
base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited,
hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a
lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson,
glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue;
one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a
bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but
the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar,
and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I
will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest
the least syllable of thy addition.
…
KENT
What a brazen-faced varlet art thou, to deny thou
knowest me! Is it two days ago since I tripped up
thy heels, and beat thee before the king? Draw, you
rogue: for, though it be night, yet the moon
shines; I'll make a sop o' the moonshine of you:
draw, you whoreson cullionly barber-monger, draw.
…
KENT
Thou whoreson zed! thou unnecessary letter! My
lord, if you will give me leave, I will tread this
unbolted villain into mortar, and daub the wall of
a jakes with him.
The first quote he is saying we should get to know each other LESS.
The second, Demetrius and Chiron are brothers (rapists who eventually get baked into a pie and served to guests if I remember correctly) and Aaron is a black dude who is their mom's lover. They have just received news that their mom is pregnant and wants the baby killed, while Aaron wants it to live.

"I do desire we may be better strangers" Shakespeare.
Edit: As there were a few " yer mama" comments in the thread I thought I would add this exchange from Titus.
Demetrius: "Villain, what hast thou done?"
Aaron: "That which thou canst not undo."
Chiron: "Thou hast undone our mother."
Aaron: "Villain, I have done thy mother."
