What did brutus mean when he said it was Greek to you?

Brutus didn't say that. Casca didn't say that, even. Can you not tell the difference between "it was Greek to you" and "it was Greek to me"?Casca is reporting what went on while Brutus and Cassius were talking. He says that Cicero made a speech in Greek, "but for my part, it was Greek to me." Casca means he doesn't speak Greek so he didn't understand any of it. The expression "it was Greek to me" (NEVER "it was Greek to you.") means "I didn't understand a word of it."


Which literary term best describes the phrase it was Greek to me which was coined by shakespeare?

It's a sentence. In Julius Caesar, where it first appeared, Casca tells Cassius and Brutus that Cicero had given a speech in Greek. He says that was very nice, but he had no idea what it was all about because Casca didn't speak Greek. When he says "for my part, it was Greek to me." he means exactly what he says--he didn't understand any of it because he didn't speak Greek.
