Shakespearean insults

A friend sent along a link to a hilarious (and useful) "kit" for creating and hurling Shakespearean insults.Check it out here. The creators are to be congratulated for fine scholarship and heck of a fun online toy.Here are some results we've been enjoying in the office:You, sir, are a "pribbling, milk-livered scut."You, madam, are a "wimpled, whoreson Basket-Cockle."You, Mr. Editor, are a "craven, hasty-witted bugbear."You, Mr. President, are an "unmuzzled, scurvy-valiant wagdog."You can also get an official insult hurled at you from Shakespeare himself here.I just got: "I find the ass in compound with the major part of your syllables." (from Coriolanus )
