Example Sentences:
(1) When me and my sister started writing a sitcom about teenagers, we wanted to write about all the most agonising and awful things about being a teenage girl, and my hopeless non-affair with Pavid Dreen became the basis of the first episode: there's nothing quite like a fat, bookish teenage girl who wants to be "noble", and accidentally says "forsooth!"
(2) Now, 20 years later, I can only presume that this was because they presumed that a) I already knew what it was – perhaps, indeed, because of Bergerac – and they didn't want to patronise me, or b) they'd looked at me – fat, in NHS glasses, wearing an old tartan dressing gown instead of a coat, and apt to say "Forsooth!"
