Shakespeare Words

Shakespearean, not stirred.

Misplaced

Popularized in Richard III

“
I'll have this crown of mine cut from my shoulders
”

This word sure came in handy with all the throne-hopping and crown-stealing that went down in Shakespeare's plays. So the ex-king accidentally "misplaced" his crown and you just happened to find it and proclaim yourself the king, you say?

Sure.
