Language: Then and Now

  • Naughty,” in Shakespeare’s England, was to be a “naught person” — a soulless, wicked, half-man.
  • “Awful” and “awesome” once meant the same. (They both meant “awesome.”)
  • To be “generous” once meant to be of noble and pure blood. (Only they could be magnanimous, you see.)
  • If you were “disappointed” you were quite literally removed from office — you were fired.
