How Falconry Shaped the English Language
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 05. 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?)

That hood on birds head😂😂😂😂
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.
Really interesting! Thanks for making this video
I love birds
Very interesting, thank you☺
I hate studying idioms and phrasal verbs but this is so cool
Amazing video!
So curious! Thanks for sharing.
Hey this is filmed at Gleneagles, in Scotland.
Falcon skillz
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.
impressive.

Why GBS made a video called "Ett yrke på glid" ?
Alexander McQueen loves falconry.
Why don't you have a Patreon account where we could support you? You produce great content
Firstname Lastname LOL, CNN owns them.
Corlys Velaryon Source?
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

it all makes sense now
The UK needs stricter Falconry laws. Not enough regulation.
hi are you active with your subscribers
Hey, my name is Margo! 😀
That's a portrait of Shakespeare's brother, not Shakespeare himself.
i dont know this guy
I do
the recommended videos to the right of this is so weird....
Falcon: *scree*
Me: *squee*
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
CORRECTION: the greatest writer in the English language is J.K Rowling
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
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
