A literate way of telling a whore to GTFO. For the times when a simple "fuck off" just doesn't do it for you.
Often used when condescension is desired, this term leaves a lasting sting that can only be made by citing shakespeare. Confusion, hurt, and self-doubt often are common side effects experienced by its victims. To be used wisely, or not to be used at all.
Whore: "Hey there, buy me a drink?"
You: "Get thee to a nunnery, skank."
Whore: *sob*
Etymology: Since the Elizabethan era, nun has been slang for a prostitute (ref. William Faulkner, "Requiem for a Nun"), and a nunnery referred to a brothel.
