The Shakespeare Insult Kit

The Shakespeare Insult Kit

Today's world is moving at record speed. And sometimes you simply don't have time to come up with insults worthy of your razor-sharp sardonic wit.

What's a busy wag to do?

Simple. Print off a copy of today's very lightweight text-only website and keep it handy the next time the need arises to insult someone in a Shakespearean fashion.

It's called the Shakespeare Insult Kit, and here's how it works:

You have three columns. The first two are adjectives, the last nouns. Begin with "Thou" and select one insult from each column.

Examples:

Thou mammering, ill-nurtured pigeon-egg!

Thou yeasty, shard-borne whey-face!

Thou pribbling, toad-spotted malt-worm!

Easy, huh? Have fun . . .

    Hi there!

    I see that you have utilized my "Shakespearean Insult Generator" on your website.

    As I hold the copyright to this, if you would like to continue using it, please cite the fact that this was my original work (see http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/4900/fun.htm for an example of how this has been done, though I would prefer "© Sandy Shepard. All Rights Reserved" instead of using © Sheena Shepard Gunn (my Ren Faire name, which I don't use as much any more) ). Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Sandy Shepard, Esq.
