HAMLET
Lady, shall I lie in your lap?
OPHELIA
No, my lord.
HAMLET
I mean, my head upon your lap?
OPHELIA
Ay, my lord.
HAMLET
Do you think I meant country matters?
OPHELIA
I think nothing, my lord.
HAMLET
That’s a fair thought to lie between maids' legs.
OPHELIA
What is, my lord?
HAMLET
Nothing.
OPHELIA
You are merry, my lord.
HAMLET
Who, I?
OPHELIA
Ay, my lord.
[HAMLET, Act III Scene 2]
Now, reread the scene, knowing that in the Elizabethan Era, “nothing” (pronouced as "noting") was a slang term for the female genitalia. And that when Hamlet says "country matters", Ophelia hears the "cunt" inside the "country". That tells a lot about the characters, doesn't it?
