A poster elsewhere was musing about the word 'coil' in relation to death euphemisms. It seems to me that, save as in the phrase "mortal coil", the word is never used in the sense of fuss, pother, ado. I am sure that there must be other examples of words that survive only because of their presence in a Shakespeare quotation. Any suggestions?

Can't think of any just now - but having started Two Gentlemen of Verona I now want to use the word 'angerly' (1.2.62), which I've not heard or seen elsewhere, bring it back I say, I like it:
The speak angerly in parliament, a right old coil, except for Jeremy C.

For Shakespeare's contributions to the English language, Bernard Levin's Quoting Shakespeare offers a good sampling.
