My brother and I were discussing Shakespeare again last night and we happened upon this little gem. I thought I would share it for the amusement of my fellow industrial-strength geeks.

My insult was - "Your virginity breeds mites, much like a cheese. Taken from: All's Well That Ends Well"
I'm not sure exactly what that means, but it doesn't sound very hygenic.  |

Thou elvish-mark'd, abortive, rooting hog!

 Mighty amusing, I must say! *snort*
My favorites were:
Methinks´st thou art a general offence and every man should beat thee. (All´s Well That Ends Well)
In civility thou seem´st so empty. (As You Like It)
Thou artless folly-fallen flap-dragon!
Thine sole name blisters out tongues. (Macbeth)
Aaah, gotta love Shakespeare.  |

Thou whoreson mandrake, thou art fitter to be worn in my cap than to wait at my heels.
Taken from: Henry IV, part 2
Thou mangled boil-brained hugger-mugger!
WTF??? 
Thou froward lily-livered puttock!
I think this one is appropriate for here...no finger pionting! 
Get thee to a nunnery.
Taken from: Hamlet 
and...
Thy sin's not accidental, but a trade.
Taken from: Measure for Measure 
Heehee, innocently quoted of course!  |

Lovely!
I rather like this one, and have vowed to use it outloud at least once today: Go, ye giddy goose!

Would the fountain of your mind were clear again, that I might water an ass at it.
Taken from: Troilus and Cressida

I'm personally fond of "Idol of idiot-worshippers!"
"Thou spleeny unwash'd bladder!" ... eww.
"Thou froward elf-skinned pignut! " uh.. I am soooo gonna start calling people pignuts.
pure GOLD! Thanks for this, muffin!
PS: You live in the rank sweat of an enseamed bed,
Stew'd in corruption, honeying and making love ove the nasty sty!
zing.

These are great! My insult of the day was:
[Thou] poisonous bunch-back'd toad!
I can use this in the checkout lanes....
and can you believe...my Dear Other memorised this one and taunted me with it?
You starvelling, you eel-skin, you dried neat's-tongue, you bull's-pizzle, you stock-fish--O for breath to utter what is like thee!-you tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bow-case, you vile standing tuck!
And he get's mad at me for telling him he looks like Sean Bean! |

[Thou] foul defacer of God's handiwork. (Richard III)
Thou clay-brained guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thou whoreson obscene greasy tallow-catch! (Henry IV, part 1)
What a drunken knave was the sea to cast thee in our way! (Pericles)
Bwahahaha. *is SO going to use these on obnoxious students*
Leilana: "Hugger-mugger?"  
Though it's not here, I also like "Thou hast no more brain than I have in mine elbows." from Troilus and Cressida.
