Old English phrases

[ModsDeleteThisAccountPlease]

Well, there's a joke going around a site I visit where people are "Old Englishfying" popular phrases.

Example: "They see my rollin', Dey hatin'" was posted as "They see me operating my automobile, they are prejudiced."

or My Milkshakes becomes:

"My milkshake bringeth all the gentlefolk to the yard/ And they are like/It is better than thine/ verily/ It is better than thine/ I could teach you/ but I would have to levy a fee"

It's quite funny to me. So I thought, what more could the Escapist community think of. Post away!

EDIT: By Old English, I mean Elizabethan English. Sorry for the mishap.

English ************! Dost thou speak it?

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

I am within your electronic communication lines, appropriating your baking goods.

Every one of your command centres now belongs to us.

I am making ready my focused light beam through the use of charging particles.

That's all I got for now, but it's late and I'm tired.

 

[Avggoe17456]

"Gentlemen, who hath released thine hounds?"

 

[Irridium]

I do so lament the inevitable chaps who will put up a text block of horrid offence thinking that they are clever.

I do so detest those ruffians.

And I believe that I win this heartfelt discussion. Since I currently have the most appropriate facial hair.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I would hazard a guess that your vernacular has become rather discombobulated whilst making this homage to the lexicon of colloquial nerdisms.

Edit:

The sweet and succulent bakery product is a falsity.

I do believe they are sinking metropolitan abodes with a rather large non-arthropod invertebrate.

English thou who fuck thy mother ! Dost thou speak it?

Fixed.

Sorry. Good one though.

HAHAHAHA. I hath laughed out loud.

[In a deep, meaningful, booming voice] My fellow gentlefolk,[pause] I mean this thread not as an insult,[pause] but a tribute,[pause] to the awesomeness that hath be Britain!

 

[Trivun]

I journey now on mine journey long, forsooth, for I shall return to tell thee of a tale that thine eyes will burn from awesomeness...

Yeah, I'm off to play The Longest Journey, basically. However, while we're on the subject, did you all know that in Romeo and Juliet, when Juliet says the famous line:

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

She's actually saying 'why are you called Romeo?' The thing is, a lot of people reckon it means 'where are you, Romeo?' when in actual fact 'wherefore' is Ye Olde Englishe for 'why'. She's referring to their names meaning they're mortal enemies. Not a lot of people know that .

 

[sms_117b]

Does thou liketh Fish Sticks?

Ye? Well, thou be one of those homosexual aquatics!

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Divine defecation of lupine beasts! Texas say ye? I've harkened the notion that only male bovine and rampant homosexuals reside in Texas, and you do not appear to my eye as a bovine, so that would bare evidence to eliminate many previous options. Do you filate phalluses?

 

[MiracleOfSound]

That is a rather fascinating yarn, my brethren.

 

[Pariah87]

Hello there good sir, we happened to hear you partake in a spot of golf, so we purchased a putter for you so that you may golf whilst you golf.

No one knows what Old English is. Why on earth is everyone talking in Early Modern English?
