In reply to:Shakespeare invented the words "assassination" and "bump"
Not having the OED to hand [baying mob with placards saying "Bring the price down" attacking the OUP emoticon], I can't check but are you sure Shakespeare's isn't just the first recorded use? It's not necessarily the same thing. Perhaps others used these words without us knowing about it.
