Percy's Head

What is Percy's Head?


1.

v.

1. To publicly redeem one's self through humiliation or defeat of a rival (often a rival who has bested you in some way).

n.

1. Payback or revenge.

Etymology: Thought to be a bastardization of a passage from Shakespeare's "Henry IV, part 1" in which the dishonored Prince Hal is speaking with his father about his shame and Harry Percy's (Hotspur) honor:

I will redeem all this on Percy's head

And in the closing of some glorious day

Be bold to tell you that I am your son;

When I will wear a garment all of blood

And stain my favours in a bloody mask,

Which, wash'd away, shall scour my shame with it:

And that shall be the day, whene'er it lights,

That this same child of honour and renown,

This gallant Hotspur, this all-praised knight,

And your unthought-of Harry chance to meet.

Noun: He might have won this time, but I'm gonna totally Percy's head that sonofabitch the next time we play.

Verb: Time for Percy's head, baby.
