The Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare. (Or was it Shakespere, Shakespear, or Shakspere<\/a>?) No matter how you spell it, Shakespeare was an undeniable genius whose contributions to the English language and world literature are monumental.<\/p>

As we\u2019re about to celebrate 7000 subscribers to our UX writing newsletter<\/a>, we thought we\u2019d take a closer look at Shakespeare’s grand influence on English. So many of the words and phrases he coined are still being used today with surprising regularity, including in UX writing.<\/p>

And so, without further ado, here are our top 10 words, and top 10 phrases from the master.<\/p>

10 words invented by Shakespeare<\/h2>

We have to start things off with one caveat. Though Shakespeare is oft credited with creating these words, the real story, as usually is the case, is more complex. So let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>

1) Newfangled<\/strong> \u2014 I love this word, which today means “new,” but with a hint of being overly complex or unnecessary. It has a great history coming from new<\/em> being used together with the Old English verb fang,<\/em> which meant grasp or seize. Though he didn\u2019t invent it, we can likely thank Shakespeare for it still being in use today.\u00a0<\/p>

In As You Like It<\/em>, heroine and protagonist Rosalind warns that she\u2019ll be \u201cmore new-fangled than an ape, more giddy in my desires than a monkey.\u201d I think that\u2019s just special.<\/p>

2) Swagger<\/strong> \u2014 Speaking of newfangled, here\u2019s a word that sounds as current as can be. But this is one where we can<\/em> credit the Bard, with the first attestations coming from his plays. In the 1580s, it meant \u201cto strut in a defiant or insolent manner.\u201d Yeah, pretty much the same in 2020.<\/p>

In Henry IV, Part II<\/em>, it appears in the line: \u201cI will bar no honest man my nor no cheater; but I do not love swaggering, by my troth.\u201d<\/p>

3) Unfriend<\/strong> \u2014 Here\u2019s another that you might think is a recent invention\u2014more Zuckerburg than Shakespeare. Nay! \u2018Tis not so! Shakespeare used it a few times, as in \u201cwhich to a stranger, Unguided and unfriended, often prove Rough and unhospitable\u201d from The Twelfth Night<\/em>.<\/p>

4) Multitudinous<\/strong> \u2014 Though you may not want to load your UI up with this five-syllable beauty, you never know. Meaning numerous or having many parts, this probably first appears in Macbeth, depending on the date of publication. Shakespeare spoke of multitudinous tongues and seas.\u00a0<\/p>

5) Lackluster<\/strong> \u2014 Shakespeare had a knack for combining words to form new compound words. Put lack and luster together, and you get dull or, metaphorically, lacking in vitality, force, or conviction.\u00a0<\/p>

In As You Like It<\/em>, it appears in the line: \u201cAnd then he drew a dial from his poke, \/ And, looking on it with lack-lustre eye \u2026\u201d (A dial from his poke is just a watch from his bag, if you were wondering.)<\/p>

6) Ladybird<\/strong> \u2014 OK, here\u2019s the story I heard. What are called ladybugs in North America are called ladybirds in Britain and elsewhere. This comes from \u201cOur Lady\u2019s Bird\u201d which meant the Virgin Mary. Why? Don\u2019t ask. But Shakespeare shortened it and turned it into a term of endearment for Juliet. Not from Romeo though\u2014it\u2019s Juliet\u2019s nurse who calls out: \u201cWhat, lamb! what, ladybird! \/ God forbid! Where’s this girl? What, Juliet!\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>

7) Bedazzled<\/strong> \u2014 How did we go from Shakespeare to an overgrown stapler for putting plastic rhinestones on your acid-washed denim jacket? In The Taming of the Shrew<\/em>, Katherina speaks of her \u201c\u2026 mistaking eyes, \/ That have been so bedazzled with the sun \/ That everything I look on seemeth green.\u201d Oh, how the mighty have fallen.<\/p>

8) Lackbrain<\/strong> \u2014 Did I mention he liked compound words? Lack was such a useful prefix that he kept it going with lackbrain, which you can now add to your personal lexicon of fancy insults. \u201cWhat a lack-brain \u2026\u201d is straight out of Henry IV, Part I<\/em>.<\/p>

9) Dwindle<\/strong> \u2014 This is a lovely word and another that Shakespeare just pulled out of his hat. According to the Online Etymology Dictionary<\/a>, it comes from the Middle English dwinen<\/em>, meaning waste away, fade, vanish. Shakespeare turned it into the diminutive dwindle<\/em>, like in Macbeth: \u201cWeary sev’nnights nine times nine \/ Shall he dwindle, peak and pine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

10) Hot\/cold\/etc.-blooded<\/strong> \u2014 Shakespeare apparently had a thing for blood, coining terms like hot-blooded, cold-blooded, life-blood, heart-blood, and others. From the Duke of Albany\u2019s savage burn of \u201chalf-blooded fellow\u201d to Falstaff\u2019s \u201csober-blooded boy\u201d the blood was flowing back in the old Globe Theatre.<\/p>

10 phrases invented by Shakespeare<\/h2>

Now let\u2019s check out some phrases and expressions. Again, while Big Willie S. didn\u2019t necessarily invent all of these expressions, he did at least help popularize them. Here are some of the best.<\/p>

1) Love is blind<\/strong> \u2014 It\u2019s hard to think of a more far-reaching expression. Shakespeare didn\u2019t coin it, but he did help make it so widespread.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cBut love is blind and lovers cannot see \/ The pretty follies that themselves commit.\u201d The Merchant of Venice.<\/em><\/p>

2) Heart of gold<\/strong> \u2014 Here\u2019s another popular expression, first recorded in Henry V<\/em> and later song-a-fied by Neil Young in \u201872.<\/p>

In the play, the swaggering yet cowardly Pistol says: \u201cThe king’s a bawcock, and a heart of gold, \/ A lad of life, an imp of fame;\u201d<\/p>

3) Brave new world<\/strong> \u2014 This one served as the inspiration for another significant literary work, Aldus Huxley\u2019s classic novel of the same name.<\/p>

From The Tempest<\/em>: \u201cHow beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, \/ That has such people in’t.\u201d<\/p>

4) One fell swoop<\/strong> \u2014 Here\u2019s one that is both common, and commonly used erroneously; it\u2019s not \u201cfoul\u201d but \u201cfell.\u201d The word \u201cfell\u201d used to mean evil or cruel, which clarifies the original meaning of the phrase. And even though the original quote does mention chickens, there\u2019s no \u201cfoul\u201d in the phrase.<\/p>

From Macbeth: \u201cWhat, all my pretty chickens and their dam \/ At one fell swoop?\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>

5) In a pickle<\/strong> \u2014 This one\u2019s a bit confusing. Why does it mean \u201cto be in a difficult situation?\u201d No one seems to be certain, but in the original Shakespeare, it had more to do with being drunk.<\/p>

In The Tempest<\/em> when Alfonso says \u201cI have been in such a pickle since I saw you last,\u201d he means “I\u2019ve been so drunk.” Alfonso and Rick would get along.<\/p>

6) Break the ice<\/strong> \u2014 Since Shakespeare used it in The Taming of the Shrew<\/em>, the meaning has stayed more or less the same to this day. Though in the original, there\u2019s the double meaning of breaking through the \u201cshrew\u2019s\u201d icy demeanor.<\/p>

\u201cAnd if you break the ice, and do this feat, \/ Achieve the elder, set the younger free\u201d<\/p>

7) Wild-goose chase<\/strong> \u2014 The going theory on this phrase\u2019s origin is a type of horse race where the participant resembled the \u201cV\u201d formation of wild geese in flight. And now you know. I can\u2019t help but wonder if there\u2019s a \u201cduck, duck, goose\u201d connection in there somewhere.<\/p>

From Romeo and Juliet<\/em>: \u201cNay, if our wits run the wild-goose chase, I am done.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>

8) Clothes make the man<\/strong> \u2014 We can give Shakey half credit on this one\u2014it\u2019s changed a bit since the original line in Hamlet<\/em> when Polonius advised his son that \u201cthe apparel oft proclaims the man.\u201d Close enough.\u00a0<\/p>

9) Wear my heart upon my sleeve<\/strong> \u2014 Meaning to show one’s feeling openly, this line comes right out of Othello<\/em> where Iago says he \u201cwill wear my heart upon my sleeve.\u201d But why sleeve?<\/p>

Seems it comes from medieval jousting where knights would wear on their arm the scarf of the fair maiden they were courting, thus proclaiming their affection and defending the lady\u2019s honor. And to think, now all we do is swipe right.<\/p>

10) Laughing stock<\/strong> \u2014 In The Merry Wives of Windsor<\/em> we have the line \u201cPray you let us not be laughing-stocks to other men’s humours.\u201d Sounds innocent enough until you realize the \u201cstocks\u201d in question were these:<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>
