Go, Sir Andrew. Scout me for him at the corner the orchard like a bum-baily. So soon as ever thou seest him, draw, and as thou draw’st, swear horrible; for it comes to pass oft that a terrible oath, with a swaggering accent sharply twanged off, gives manhood more approbation than ever proof itself would have earned him. Away!
– William Shakespeare
Twelfth Night, Act 3, Scene 4. After Sir Toby talks Sir Andrew into a duel with Cesario (Viola) to win Olivia’s love, he goes on to confuse the notion of “manhood” with swaggering and swearing behavior.
