Words 'Invented' by Shakespeare

Check this out, Shakespeare is credited with 'inventing' these words;

Bedazzle
Foul-mouthed
Bedroom
Swagger
Well-bred
Champion
Droplet
Pagentry
Inaudible
Eyeball

Chances are they were in conversational use well before Shakespeare committed them to page, but either way they may well have faded into obscurity if he hadn't kept them alive.

1. Bathe 2. Fondle 3. Flirt 4. Aroma 5. Embrace 6. Lucious 7. Warm 8. Seduce 9. Sensual 10.Moist 11.Yawn 12.Sleep All right, ya got me! I'm married thirty years and I ain't had any in awhile. But if called into action, I'm ready. Rich

Did you know that he also invented the word assassin? Read Othello or Macbeth for some insight to his grammatical genius. Although some say Bacon was the true author, we may never know or care haha! - Chinobus -

And how about going down in history as the first person who dared to start a paragraph with the word 'And'? (Haha, or has that already been done?)
