The Bard Says: Relative Trouble

A little more than kin, and less than kind!
(Ham.I.2.65)

Hamlet whispers this line as an aside; he’s talking about his uncle, Claudius, who has just named Hamlet his “son.” This phrase has the potential to fit into the context of many a real-world conversation when referring to your relationship with a family member (usually best if not part of your nuclear family; the farther removed, the better the fit) with whom you don’t get along very well.
