Shakespeare Insult Kit
Combine one word from each of the three columns below, prefaced with "Thou":

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3

artless base-court apple-john
bawdy bat-fowling baggage
beslubbering beef-witted barnacle
bootless beetle-headed bladder
churlish boil-brained boar-pig
cockered clapper-clawed bugbear
clouted clay-brained bum-bailey
craven common-kissing canker-blossom
currish crook-pated clack-dish
dankish dismal-dreaming clotpole
dissembling dizzy-eyed coxcomb
droning doghearted codpiece
errant dread-bolted death-token
fawning earth-vexing dewberry
fobbing elf-skinned flap-dragon
froward fat-kidneyed flax-wench
frothy fen-sucked flirt-gill
gleeking flap-mouthed foot-licker
goatish fly-bitten fustilarian
gorbellied folly-fallen giglet
impertinent fool-born gudgeon
infectious full-gorged haggard
jarring guts-griping harpy
loggerheaded half-faced hedge-pig
lumpish hasty-witted horn-beast
mammering hedge-born hugger-mugger
mangled hell-hated joithead
mewling idle-headed lewdster
paunchy ill-breeding lout
pribbling ill-nurtured maggot-pie
puking knotty-pated malt-worm
puny milk-livered mammet
qualling motley-minded measle
rank onion-eyed minnow
reeky plume-plucked miscreant
roguish pottle-deep moldwarp
ruttish pox-marked mumble-news
saucy reeling-ripe nut-hook
spleeny rough-hewn pigeon-egg
spongy rude-growing pignut
surly rump-fed puttock
tottering shard-borne pumpion
unmuzzled sheep-biting ratsbane
vain spur-galled scut
venomed swag-bellied skainsmate
villainous tardy-gaited strumpet
warped tickle-brained varlot
wayward toad-spotted vassal
weedy unchin-snouted whey-face
yeasty weather-bitten wagtail

I'm particularly fond of "lewdster" - and the image of the entire list being recited on stage while someone really proficient in ASL signs for the hearing-challenged in the sudience.
thanks!

Wish I would have had this list a few months ago for a jerk who likes to insult me (on another board)...

I rather like the sound of, 'clotpole'...

I looked it up and found this...

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=3 width=601 align=center bgColor=#ffffff border=0><TBODY><TR><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD>1) 501. Fool. Mawson, C.O. Sylvester. 1922. Roget s International Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases (https://www.bartleby.com/110/501.html)
...dunderpate; lunkhead [U. S.]. sawney [dial. Eng.], clod, clodhopper; clodpoll, clodpate, clotpole or clotpoll [obs.], clotpate [obs.], soft or softy [colloq. or slang],...


</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

I like 'lunkhead' too...


"I'm particularly fond of "lewdster" - and the image of the entire list being recited on stage while someone really proficient in ASL signs for the hearing-challenged in the sudience."...


I imagine it 'tongue twister style'...

"Thou, clouted, clapper-clawed clotpole"...
