Shakespearean insults!

(01-23-2022, 04:22 PM)UnicornSmudge Wrote: Also what I was wondering about Gall and the connection to the gallbladder, what I meant is the way Gall is used as a personality or action descriptor, it means something like "having balls" or even "preposterous", like when somebody does something and somebody retorts "the gall!", it's like saying "wow! where did that forwardness come from?!?" Or "how highly they must think themselves to act in that way towards another"

So my question is, how did gall / the gallbladder become associated with that meaning?

No idea to be honest, the only thing I've found was that the "gall" was linked to the origin of the name "gallbladder." Although that was also a very quick Google search there lmao. (Hey, look at us, researching what "galls" and "gallbladders" have to do with the other!).

It's both funny and not, it sure shows what anxiety and wanting to do the right thing but not quite knowing how to interpret the information we're getting because of our anxiety, does to us and makes us Act, right? Makes me feel less alone with my (strange) thought processes sometimes then anyway XD

LOL! Mhmm in a way. Also, it was just fun to play around with the text styles/fonts/animations here Tongue. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is BB Code, right @Dragon?

This thread is *really* amusing me today

A lot of people steal Shakespeare's stuff, but then again people these days are basically just copying off of each other so....

Hope you feel better!
