bad words from Shakespeare: Jan 15, 2011
Who can tell me whatwhoreson beetle-headed flap-eared knave
Hi Alen,
I'll write it again here because the comment section ruined the paragraphing. :)
This phrase is very condensed, even for English speakers.
whoreson = his mother is a prostitute. Shakespeare loved this word.
beetle-headed = he has a head (and probably a brain) like a beetle.
flap-eared = his ears are large and flap about. That is, they flap about instead of hearing what is said. knave = two meanings. One is a serving-boy. The other meaning is a wicked, deceitful person. Shakespeare means both.
