Why,
sir, what’s your conceit in that?
-Petruchio
The Taming of the Shrew Act
IV, scene iii Line 158
A pretty
simple line today. Conceit means idea, or thought. Petruchio is simply asking
Grumio what he’s thinking. It’s a kind of convoluted scene, so I don’t think
we’ll go into it. This is our first shot at The
Taming of the Shrew. It’s a comedy and it’s a pretty interesting play. It’s
one of the first ones that I listened to on Arkangel, but it’s been a few years
and I’m not all that up on it. So I’m not going to get into explaining the
context of the line, or the scene, or what the play is all about. Having said
that I could turn to you (if you were here) and say ‘What’s your conceit in
that?’ Well, what do you think of that? I’m writing a post and I’m not going to
spend any time talking about today’s Totally Random line. What’s your conceit in
that? Eh?
What's this guy's conceit? Sure looks like there's something he's thinking about.

my conceit is where are you sitting?
I was sitting on a boat looking out the window. I don't remember what I was seeing.
