Thought it would be fun to put some insults on here that I will most certainly use on my mom...because she'll use them back.
"Thou hast neither heat, affection, limb, nor beauty to make thy riches pleasant."
"Thou calumnious toad-spotted malcontent!"
"Thy lips rot off!"
"Thou bawdy knotty-pated whey-face!"
"Thou cockered weather-bitten boar-pig!"
This next one has got to be my favorite. I read King Lear in the other literature class I am taking and when I read this insult I burst out laughing. It is spoken my Kent to Oswald when Oswald asks if Kent knows him:
"A knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats, a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy worsted-stocking knave, a lily-livered, action-taking, whoreson, glass-gazing, superservicable, finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in way of good service, and art nothing but the composittion of a knave , beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch; one whom I will beat into clamorous whinning if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition."
I think the best part of that whole insult is that Kent is in disguise so to Oswald, a complete stranger just dished it to him.
