The Twitter account @IAM_SHAKESPEARE is tweeting the complete works of William Shakespeare, "line by all 112,000+ lines," every 10 minutes until he's done.

At over 93,000 tweets, he's currently working his way through The Tempest.

And thanks to the "@ reply," nearly 400 years after his death, a whole new generation can let Willy Shakes know what they think of his work.

Whether it's a complaint like the one above…

Or a "That's what she said" joke…

"'That's what she said'?  I hath not considereth such punnery before!  Good show, Man of Tweeting Bird!" – Shakespeare

He'd say something like, "O, fuck."

On Fox News, Sarah Palin said that the Obamas could "refudiate" what the Tea Party is saying. Then she used the non-word again on Twitter asking peaceful Muslims to "refudiate" Ground Zero Mosque plans.

After being mocked for her word choice, she posted the tweet above. Bad idea. The Shakespeare reference only made things worse.

Reminder: Never compare yourself to Bush and Shakespeare in the same sentence.

In Sarah's defense though, coining words is super exciting!

I say "scroshed", which is like being squished but way worse. (Ex: I was scroshed in the middle of the back seat with ALL of the Brangelina kids.)

And "swut", which is like saying "say what?" but with more urgency and guilt. (Ex: You think I slept with your boyfriend? Swut!?!)

See? Vocabulation is fun!
