Question

In Romeo&Juliet who said *Did you bite your thumb?

Answer 1

In the first scene of the play, Abram, a Montague servant asks, "Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?"  Sampson, a Capulet servant replies, "No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir."

For the entire exchange between the rival servants, read the first 50 or 60 lines of Act 1, Scene 1.
