Some say the expression originated from lines in the tragedy, but there are those who also say it was an expression already in use during Shakespeare's time. Either way, it's fascinating how lines like these are still used in everyday conversation.

The ugly lolas in black sure knew how to do their homework.

And since it came up (and tippy toeing ever so carefully around misogyny), did you notice the unusual proportion of mustachioed women round those Mediterranean parts?
