I’m allowed to have an opinion that it’s fucking dumb.
And if it’s Shakespearean that you’re after….
Verily I perpend that though mayest o’er-rauhot thine aversion to proclivity and hastily fornicate thyself with nigh but the expertly expedience of one so deserved of such an unpregnant act.
Hence me writing each to their own. I would have thought that conveyed that I support you right to have an opinion.

To a 40 year old. Gee thanks buddy for the condescending tone.
lighten up
And goes on to say

Have a wonderful day. I was merely trying to point out that language changes. I tried that in a civil manner, perhaps that didn’t come across.
flavor-of-the-week slang
Yeet has actually been around for multiple years now. People have been saying it since at least 2018, probably longer.
First time I’ve seen someone use Shakespeare to say go fuck yourself. Well done.
That’s not Shakespearean English by any stretch of the imagination. It’s not even close. It’s some rando’s poorly-educated approximation.
Hell, whether you partake or not, it’s part of the process. Slang becomes part of the language if it’s good, and it doesn’t stick if enough people think it’s dumb. Keep doing what you’re doing!

That’s just old legalese. If you want Shakespearean you at least have to make it look like iambic pentameter.
