In a good play every speech should be as fully flavoured as a nut or apple.

The Playboy of the Western World (1907)

They're cheering a young lad, the champion playboy of the Western World.

The Playboy of the Western World (1907)

May I meet him with one tooth and it aching, and one eye to be seeing seven and seventy divils in the twists of the road, and one old timber leg on him to limp into the scalding grave. There he is now crossing the strands, and that the Lord God would send a high wave to wash him from the world.
