Romeo and Juliet help! I only have 15 min!!!!!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

From Spark Notes
Gregory continually implies that Sampson isnt as tough as hes acting
And when he says he'll cut off theyre maidenheads that means their virginity
When hes talking about fish theyre talking about his private parts
and biting the thumb is showing disrespect
and when he says hell take the wall that means hell walk near the wall and them in the gutters but then gregory says that's weak to be pushed against the wall
