Origin of the phrase?
[edit]Nowadays, saying "ugh, that guy's a real piece of work" is a common derogatory insult. Was this speech the first recorded use of the phrase? It seems plausible since Shakespeare coined a ton of other English sayings we use today, but is it actually the case, especially since the phrase is here used in less of an insulting sense? 73.202.235.72 (talk) 18:23, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
