Shakespeare is remembered as a prolific poet and playwright but he also contributed over 1,700 words and expressions to the English language. Today's post will list some of the words he invented, reused, and modified, some will seem too modern to belong to him but alas they do! This is just a short list of ten words/phrases attributed to Shakespeare: Lonely, good riddance, gossip, brave new world, hazel, night owl, bandit, green-eyed monster, Jessica, and unfriend. Clever dude.
