Remember that book I'm reading?
Well I learned something else that's neat:
What do the following words and phrases have in common?
"to thine own self be true", "leapfrog", "flesh and blood", "majestic", "to be in a pickle", "vanish into thin air", "radiance", "one fell swoop", "frugal", "monumental"
They wouldn't exist if it weren't for Shakespeare!!!
How insane is that? He just made them up and now we use them on a fairly regular basis.
UNREAL.

And 'bump'! He made that one up, too!
