It's not clear whether a word or phrase was already in existence in Shakespeare's lifetime or if he invented it. In any case, his plays provide us with the earliest use of many of these phrases. Can you name that play? = 1. "Too much of a good thing" = 2. "A heart of gold" = 3. "Such stuff as dreams are made on" = 4. "Fashionable" = 5. "What the dickens" = 6. "Puking" = 7. "Lie low" = 8. "Dead as a doornail" = 9. "Not slept one wink" = 10. "Foregone conclusion"

8. Hmmm. I thought this might be Henry V, but I see it's already been used. It's probably one of the other Henrys, maybe the VI?
