conversations that actually take place in the very serious shakespeare play about regicide and prophecies

mac: hey i'm in line for a promotion!

lady mac: that's great! so you're gonna kill your boss right

mac: what? no!

lady mac: aw, come ooooooooooooooooooooon. you know you want to.

mac: no i don't!

[literally not even 5 minutes pass]

mac: you know what? you're right. i DO want to. thanks, babe, you know me so well.

--

mac: hey, so, on second thought, now that he's here, maybe we SHOULDN'T kill my boss

lady mac: don't be a bitch

mac: you right you right

--

mac: ok i killed my boss but i am having at least four (4) separate panic attacks so i removed myself from the situation

lady mac: but you set up our fall guys, right?

mac: again. four separate panic attacks. i removed myself.

lady mac: ...

mac: i didn't set up our fall guys.

lady mac: oh for god's sake, i'll do it. give me that knife!

mac: and now it's five.

--

a guard, literally two minutes after the above conversation, basically right outside: why can't i get a boner when i drink a lot of wine? what is UP with that?

--

someone: our boss is dead? and so are all his guards? what the hell?

mac: yeah i uh..... *checks notecards* i found them covered in his blood and with knives in their hands, and i realized they were the culprits, so i killed them before you got here because i was so enraged that they would do something so horrible to our boss, who i totally loved

everyone: ...

everyone: yeah that sounds legit, congrats man, you're in charge now

mac: wow what a great occurrence that i totally didn't plan. i feel great, no guilt whatsoever. nope, nothing but a clear conscience and grief for our boss, who, again, i totally loved.

lady mac: *faints just as someone might begin to work out that her husband is being super suspicious*

everyone, including several experienced soldiers and statesmen, who later are smart enough to organize a rebellion against these two: wow what a crazy random happenstance

--

mac: *talking to a ghost, zoning out like crazy, flipping his shit in front of his guests*

lady mac: ...this just happens sometimes. nothing to see here, folks.

tchaikowsky donating his skull to the royal shakespeare company in the hopes of becoming yorick is the most dramatic ass dark academia shit ever and you can’t convince me otherwise

I swear I’m about to lose my shit, Wench is not an insult!

“Wench” has never meant “bitch”. Please don’t use it like that. “Wench” Is literally just a young, single, woman, of marrying age. It’s basically slang for “eligible bachelorette.”

Some common, fairly PG insults that don’t make your insult weaker by ending it with the equivalent of “m’lady”:

- Wretch: A useless, pitiful, and/or often unlucky person

- Worm: A creature slightly better than dirt

- Shrew: A woman who shrieks and nags all the time. A proud, unmarriable woman.

- Wanton: gender-neutral word for slut.

If you want to get TRULY Shakespearian, throw three adjectives and a phallic symbol in front of an animal no one really likes.
