<p><font size="6"><strong>1. Pray Thee</strong> </p>
<p>Means: I am asking you or please.</font></p>
<p>Useful in many situations.</p>
<p>&#8220;Pray thee move your car so I can leave this obnoxious party.&#8221;<br />
 ;<br />
 ;<br />
<font size="6"><strong>2. By my troth</strong> </p>
<p>Means: I promise</font></p>
<p>Carries more weight to say this than &#8220;I promise&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;By my troth, I will try to stop flirting with your brother.&#8221;<br />
 ;<br />
 ;<br />

<p>&#8220;My peerless paramour, come to my mother&#8217;s basement with me this evening for there are pretzel sticks!&#8221;<br />
 ;<br />
 ;<br />
<font size="6"><strong>5. My sweeting</strong></p>
<p>Means: My sweet one.</font></p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t go with him, my sweeting, for his pretzel sticks are stale, come play Elder Scrolls with me instead!&#8221;<br />
 ;<br />
 ;<br />
<font size="6"><strong>6. God spede you</strong></p>
<p>Means: Have a nice day.</font></p>
<p>An epic way to send someone off.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sir, god spede you and call me when you get home!&#8221;<br />
 ;<br />
 ;<br />
<font size="6"><strong>7. Fare thee well</strong></p>
<p>Means: Have a nice day.</font></p>
<p>Rolls off the tongue and better than &#8220;have a good one&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sir, we&#8217;re closing up, so finish your nachos and fare thee well.&#8221;<br />
 ;<br />
 ;<br />
<font size="6"><strong>8. I cry your mercy</strong></p>

 ;<br />
 ;<br />
<font size="6"><strong>12. Fie upon thee!</strong></p>
<p>Means: Also &#8220;Screw you!&#8221;</font></p>
