13 Words You Probably Didn't Know Were Invented By Shakespeare
The Huffington Post by madeleine.crum
Like Precalculus and Newton's laws, Shakespeare's plays are among the most groaned-about high school topics, begetting the complaint: "When will I ever need to know about this in real life?" Turns out, pretty often. Shakespeare can be credited for the invention of thousands of words that are now an everyday part of the English language (including, but not limited to, "eyeball," "fashionable," and "manager.")

Not exactly earth-shaking but certainly interesting @ 13 Words You Probably Didn't Know Were Invented By Shakespeare :eusa_whistle:
