How does Romeo use compliments to win Juliet over?

When Romeo and Juliet meet at the Capulets' big party, one of the first things he compares her to is a "holy shrine," suggesting he is unworthy even to touch her, but that his lips are like "blushing pilgrims" that might help smooth the "profane" touch of his hands with a kiss (I.5.104-106). Romeo implies Juliet is divine, imbued with some force that is higher than human, and that he feels undeserving of her. Along these same lines, Romeo later calls Juliet a "saint" (I.5.114). Later, when Romeo speaks to Juliet on her balcony, he again calls her a "dear saint" (II.2.60). When Juliet expresses her fear that her kinsmen will find Romeo and kill him, he says,



Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye


Than twenty of their swords.


Look thou but sweet,


And I am proof against their enmity (2.2.76-78).



In other words, then, Romeo assures Juliet that she has far more power over him than any weapons do. Romeo claims that, if Juliet cares about him, he cannot be harmed by her relatives. Further, he says that "[His] life were better ended by their hate / Than death prorogued, wanting of [her] love" (II.2.82-83). Romeo says he doesn't even really consider his life worth living—that he would rather die—if he doesn't have Juliet's love. I'm not sure that Romeo's compliments are solely responsible for winning Juliet over, but it can't hurt!

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.
