What does it mean when Shakespeare says Catch a cold?

It means just the same thing it means nowadays: to get sick from exposing oneself to the cold. Nowadays we understand this to be a virus which we become susceptible to during cold weather. In Shakespeare's day it was thought that standing or remaining immobile in a cold place would bring on the disease. Shakespeare uses this phrase in the following places: "Let him walk from whence he came, lest he catch cold on's feet." (Comedy of Errors, 3,1) "Nay, an thou canst not smile as the wind sits, thou'lt catch cold shortly." (King Lear, 1, 4) "You will catch cold, and curse me." (Troilus and Cressida, 4,2) "Nay, I was taken up for laying them down: Yet here they shall not lie, for catching cold." (The Two Gentlemen of Verona, 1, 2) The quotations from Comedy of Errors and Two Gentlemen of Verona are most helpful. In Errors, Dromio tells the other Antipholus not to wait around the door to be let in, because if he does so he will stand around so long that he will catch cold. In Two Gents, Lucetta suggests that the torn pieces of Proteus's love-letter will catch cold if they are left on the ground.
