<p>but they had it before that. I thought it was to keep people from spamming the boards…</p>
<p>Well people spam the boards anyway.</p>
<p>yeah… that’s about what half of it is here…</p>
<p>Today in English we were discussing the scene from Hamlet after he makes his “To be or not to be” soliloquy when Hamlet and Ophelia talk and Claudius and Plonious are eavesdropping. The teacher asked why Hamlet tells her to go to a nunnery (the book notes said nunnery=brothel) and one kid said “She’s a ho, fo sho” and the teacher replied “Yea, she’s a ho… fo sho…” . I’m liking English senior year.</p>
<p>and did they say why they decided to define a nunnery as a brothel?
…I think some nuns might find that offensive.</p>
<p>but it is funny though.</p>
<p>is a nunnery where nuns live? Just so I can keep up with the “conversation” lol.</p>
<p>well… nuns actually live in convents, but usually a nunnery is defined as a convent.
(I just looked it up to check on that)
I’d never heard it called a brothel before.</p>
<p>Maybe that was an old definition…</p>
<p>yeah, that could be…
it’s still funny though.</p>
<p>Nuns… <em>shakes head</em></p>
<p>lol, you don’t like nuns? I guess you prefer the “old definition” then?</p>
<p>From my book: Line 131. nunnery: convent (The word was sometimes used mockingly to refer to a brothel)</p>
<p>who here has been to a nunery before? - use whichever definition you prefer…</p>
<p>I haven’t been to either…</p>
<p>me neither lol
how did we get to discussing nuns?.. weird.</p>
<p>from venkats comment about his english class on the last page.</p>
<p>oh yeah, I forgot that.</p>
<p>on a scale of 1 to 10 - how boring has this thread become?</p>
<p>what is 1 and what is 10?</p>
<p>1 is “reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally boring” and 10 is “really exciting.”</p>
<p>.5
