Bohei

"Bohei!" It's not a battle cry, and it's not a Japanese sword fighting technique. In fact, "Bohei" is not much of anything at all. The term refers to those times when a big fuss is made about nothing. Some speculate the word originated from the term "palhe," once used in a dialect spoken by beggars and vagrants. After shifts in pronunciation over time, "palhe" evolved into "Bohei." But if that seems too complicated, don't worry - even Shakespeare can reassure you it's just much "Bohei" about nothing.
