Anything that rhymes with ‘pickle’ is worth mentioning. Especially in Shakespeare.

mickle (adj.) IPA Pronunciation: /mIkl/
great, much, large

DROMIO OF EPHESUS
O villain! thou hast stolen both mine office and my name.
The one ne’er got me credit, the other mickle blame.
- Comedy of Errors (III.i)

I’ll give you a nickel and tickle for that mickle pickle. Cool sentence, huh? Shakespeare wrote that sentence. So it’s not stupid. It’s in that one play…

Note the difference in the above quote between saying “much blame” and “mickle blame.” The latter has a very different feel when spoken, almost a more piercing quality with the more forward vowel.

It sounds like a laughing little pig. It’s a nice image, isn’t it?

giglot IPA Pronunciation:
(n.) harlot, strumpet, wanton

ESCALUS
Away with those giglots too, and with the other confederate companion!
- Measure for Measure (V.i)

(adj.) whorish, fickle, giddy

QUEEN
The famed Cassibelan, who was once at point–
O giglot fortune!–to master Caesar’s sword,
- Cymbeline (III.i)

Mmm… more Shakespeare disses!

Wot! What? Wot’s on second. I know not is on third.

wot (v.) IPA Pronunciation:
learn, know, be told

DEMETRIUS
But, my good lord, I wot not by what power,
But by some power it is,–my love to Hermia,
Melted as the snow,
- A Midsummer Night’s Dream (IV.i)

I wot not what I ought to have braught.

This word isn’t uncommon in Shakespeare; it’s in many of his plays. You out to wot this word.

Sounds just like the part of the shirt that is always messed up in the back: collar. When your collar is wrong, you may get full of choler and soon change your color in front of a caller.

choler (n.) IPA Pronunciation:
anger, rage, wrath

HAMLET
Your wisdom should show itself more richer to signify this to his doctor; for, for me to put him to his purgation would perhaps plunge him into far more choler.
- Hamlet (III.ii)

When your collar is wrong, you may get full of choler and soon change your color in front of a caller.

This word shows up all over the place so it’s a very important word to know when working with Shakespeare. That’s probably because there are a lot of angry people in the plays.

Just my guess.

Be careful with this word… just ‘cuz.

caveto (int.) IPA Pronunciation:
beware, take care, careful

PISTOL
Therefore, Caveto be thy counsellor.
- Henry V (II.iii)

This word means caution, related to a term you may be already familiar with: caveat. Good ol’ Pistol, always a careful one. NOT!

No, it’s not an elided part of a Nike commercial.

doit (n.) IPA Pronunciation:
small sum, worthless amount, trifle

TRINCULO
Where they will will not give a doit to relieve a lame beggar…
- The Tempest (II.ii)

A doit was a small Dutch coin that was worth half an English farthing, which wasn’t much. So half of that (and perhaps the fact that it was Dutch) made it a worthless amount.
