Magic Shake-Ball


Dear Magic Shake-Ball:

I have a friend who was wondering if she should Facebook "friend" the French boy who kissed her in a discotheque when she was 16. She isn't 100% positive it's him since he's 47 now. Plus, she may have been drinking a little bit too much when she saw his profile picture. Okay, and maybe also when she was 16.

Answer:

Fie, fie, they are not to be named, my lord,
Not to be spoke of;
There is not chastity enough in language
Without offense to utter them. Thus, pretty lady,
I am sorry for thy much misgovernment.

(Much Ado About Nothing 4.1.95-99)

Interpretation:

Look,   I  she didn't actually "friend" him, okay? She does have some boundaries. Sheesh. She'll appreciate the "pretty" compliment though.
