Quiz : who originated the expression to lay something on with a trowel? Was it
A - Shakespeare
B - Dickens
C - Orwell?
Answer : Shakespeare.
In Act 1 scene ii of As You Like It, Celia says “Well said: that was laid on with a trowel.” But did Shakespeare invent it? I suppose it may already have been an expression in common use.
