Word Entry: Act 3 Scene 2

1.  "Oh, there be players that I have seen play and heard others praise (and that highly), not to speak it profanely, that, neither having th' accent of Christians nor the gait of Christian, pagan, nor man, have so strutted and bellowed that I have thought some of nature’s journeymen had made men and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abominably." (20-25)

2. My guess:  I think it means the actors were very poor or unconvincing at portraying the human quality of the characters.

3. Definition: worthy of or causing disgust or hatred (merriam-webster.com).

4. Explanation: So I guess it means that Hamlet thinks that some actors he has seen perform are so extremely bad that they do a bad job of appearing to be humans.
