People who believe, to one capacity or another, the theory that William Shakespeare of Stratford did not write the plays that he had become famous for.
"There are certain people who believe that Shakespeare's plays are so sophisticated, so erudite, so brain-crapingly good that a middle-class kid from the Boondocks without a University degree couldn't possibly have written them. Why no one suspects the same from degree-less writers Maya Angelou, Truman Capote, Ray Bradbury, Mark Twain and Charles Dickens is anyone's guess. Still, the belief goes that only some one with a vast education and a noble soul could have designed such masterpieces. Shakespeare's too perfect not to be made by a perfect human. It is literary creationism."

Celtic "pundit" who - even were he to guide the team to unlikely victory in the Champion's League - would still call Gordon Strachan "shite."
Daver: "Steviebhoy; that really was a pile of utterly gangrenous pish you wrote, was it not? Surely even the likes of you - with the IQ of a tea cosy - must realise that a manager who has won 3 leagues in a row, and the League Cup only yesterday is deserving of some acclaim?"
Steviebhoy - "Naw, Strachan's shite. We won all these accolades despite Strachan - if it were not for him, we would be 84 points ahead in the league, and just have knocked Messi's Barcelona out of the european Cup."
Daver: "Are you sure you are not in fact speaking a load of monotonous drivel, and that even the village idiot would come to the conclusion that strachan has done every Celtic fan proud with victory yesterday?"

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
