Tis neither here nor there

Tis neither here nor there

The phrase "Tis neither here nor there" is a common expression in the English language that originated from the works of William Shakespeare. This phrase is often used to indicate that something is of little importance or relevance to the current situation. In Shakespeare's plays, this phrase is used to dismiss or downplay the significance of a particular issue or topic.

One of the most famous instances of this phrase in Shakespeare's works is in the play "Othello." In Act 4, Scene 3, Iago uses the phrase "Tis neither here nor there" to dismiss Desdemona's pleas for mercy and forgiveness. Iago's use of this phrase highlights his manipulative and deceitful nature, as he tries to convince Othello that Desdemona's pleas are irrelevant and should not be taken seriously.
