How Falconry Shaped the English Language
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 май 2017
- Feeling hoodwinked or fed up? You can thank falconry for those particular turns of phrase. During the 16th century, a rather notable amateur falconer named William Shakespeare became enamored of the sport. The playwright loved training birds of prey so much that he began adding falconry references to his plays. And guess what? He successfully wrapped us all around his little finger. (See what we did there?)

There's a lot more !
Falcons were carried to the field hooded on a special perch carried by a cadger. Usually an older, employee, experienced falconer.
We get the words codger and caddy from that.

Why GBS made a video called "Ett yrke på glid" ?
Alexander McQueen loves falconry.
Booze is the best one, a falcon that was drinking was said to booze, all over the world in English speaking countries the word is used for drinking alcohol or booze as alcohol itself. Nothing to do with the Bard though just down to the falconers language.
Hey, my name is Margo! 😀
That's a portrait of Shakespeare's brother, not Shakespeare himself.

They are an independent llc fully funded by CNN. So not owned by the network but GBS thanks them on their site for the "checks that don't bounce" www.fastcompany.com/3051812/cnn-launches-great-big-story-its-answer-to-vice-and-buzzfeed

Falcon: *scree*
Me: *squee*

I do
the recommended videos to the right of this is so weird....
The UK needs stricter Falconry laws. Not enough regulation.
justin bibs with hes igl
aww I'm not first
non existent did you know that you have walk around the earth 3 when you're dead
ah language particularly English, such a strange one though I do find this video fascinating as fuck it's time I reckons a new language oughtta be born to combat any anti evolutionary trickery of tongues on our atlas
So 5 words come from falconry... thats hardly shaping the english language
It just said how they shaped the English language, never that they shaped it very much. Five words is still a pretty big impact for one sport
CORRECTION: the greatest writer in the English language is J.K Rowling
