In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, what does Romeo say that Juliet's love has done to him?

In Act III, Scene 1, Romeo claims that Juliet's beauty (he never says love, but it is implied) has rendered him effeminate. He refers to himself as unmanly because he did not stand up for himself when he was challenged by Tybalt. Instead, Mercutio steps in and fights Tybalt, mistaking Romeo's behavior for cowardice. Romeo has just been married to Juliet, Tybalt's cousin, and fighting the Capulet is the furthest thing from his mind. He even tells Tybalt that he loves him. All the while, Mercutio's anger is rising and he and Tybalt end up fighting, which leads to Mercutio's death when Romeo attempts to intercede. At first, the Montague men do not believe that Mercutio is hurt badly, as he continues joking, but when he turns up dead, Romeo is grief stricken, saying,



This gentleman, the Prince’s near ally,
My very friend, hath got this mortal hurt
In my behalf. My reputation stained
With Tybalt’s slander—Tybalt, that an hour
Hath been my cousin! O sweet Juliet,
Thy beauty hath made me effeminate
And in my temper softened valor’s steel.



Because he has allowed Mercutio to fight his battle, Romeo is distraught and suggests that he has been womanish (obviously a sexist comment if taken literally today, but at the time perfectly understandable) in his conduct and his courage has been "softened" by the beauty and love of Juliet.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
