Is Shakespeare třasohruška?
02.10.2009 01:43Well, let's see what we have here: is it "(he) shakes"+"pear(e)"? I'm afraid that doesn't seem correct :( The first word is okay, shake = třást, lomcovat, mávat, but the second part comes from spear (kopí, oštěp) rather than pear (hruška). So, he doesn't want to get some vitamines, he wants to fight!
