[I] was once told in all seriousness, by a college English lit professor who specialized in Shakespeare, that any time you're reading Shakespeare and encounter a word that you don't know or that doesn't make sense in context, you should assume it's slang for something sexual. It's actually the most useful trick for understanding Shakespeare I ever learned.
Dang, that's one perceptive prof.
