twodox stranger Registered: 02/26/13 Posts: 1 Loc: Connecticut, USA	Does anyone in this group know of a word for quotes that "everyone knows" but were never said. E.g., "Me Tarzan, you Jane," or "Play it again, Sam"? Thank you

Rhubarb Commando old hand Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 1029 Loc: Lancaster, UK	"Abandon hope all ye who enter here" (not at all what Milton wrote!) The only word I know which describes this is 'misquotation' Another popular Shalespearian misquote is fomr 'The Scottish Play' - "Lead on, Macduff." _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise
