Are we living in the 16th century, why do people still use this phrase? I have never met anyone who says methinks who I didn't want to cricket bat roundly in their sodding codpiece. I assume it's just me that feels enraged by this word.

How else would you describe thought processes going through your mind ?

Personally I use quite a lot of words that were around in the 16th century.
[b][i]"enraged"[/i][/b] for example: late 15th century (formerly also as inrage): from French enrager, from en- 'into' + rage 'rage, anger'. 😉

be careful around joolsburger - he might get all medieval with you.
Language is fun to play around with. Try it sometime and you may not get so angry about such trivial things.
It's pretty much that one word that annoys, I'm tolerant otherwise. Except for "can I get" which instils similar murderous thoughts.
Verily, archaic language is a most vexing affectation.
Ah hey nonny nonny, 'tis surely a petty annoyance forsooth.
I see what you did there.
Erm.. I mean..

it's when people think it's two words that enrages me, but you know... not a lot.
Methinks you complain too much(ly)
I'm apoplectic now.
"Chaps" is one that gets me. As in "what do you think chaps?"
Relax jools our language is fantastically diverse because of our history, giving us access to all sorts of words like methinks, et cetera, etc.

It's true and English is the lingua franca of the world.
Methinks the OP doth hath much granular particulars in his womens frontage.
If I may continue Graham's interjection on this matter...

Sand in my gusset, now that did make me laugh.
Really? How odd, I find it just itches.
It's a great word.
I'll use it forever, along with "thus" and "nay".

Like double spaces after full stops, it's useful for identifying worthless strokers and office jokers who say things like "a tankard of your finest frothing ale, stout yeoman of the bar" when ordering drinks.

Wouldn't evermore be better than forever, stroker? 😉

Metaphorical tea/screen interface there! 😆
I have been know to use the methinks from time to time; we have an extraordinarily varied and colourful language, why, exactly, shouldn't we have a little fun with it.
Lighten up, OP, you'll develop an ulcer.
Gadzooks. quite so CZ!
Anyone who uses Nay in a sentence makes me automatically assume they're channeling;
