“Alas poor Yorick” what century are these people living in, exactly? That sounds like Shakespeare
Good guess! What a shame you had to guess and didn’t have an education that exposed you to great literature. It’s from Hamlet. The quote is “Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio.”
Aside from not hearing the name “Yorick” that often (at least, not in the U.S. or Israel), what makes it sound like Shakespeare?
