Elizabethan insults created by Shakespeare . . .


Shakespearean Insult Generating Tool

See how Shakespeare would have insulted you with his clever Elizabethan quips of the day.

I saved a couple of his insults directed at me.

"[Thou] small grey coated gnat."
Taken from: Romeo and Juliet


"[Thou] stale old mouse eaten dry cheese!"
Taken from: Troilus and Cressida

Wow - those are some pretty brutal insults. I love the way the button that you click says, "insult me again."

Here was my 1st insult - Thou currish lily-livered bugbear! Too funny!!

Have a great insult-free day Rosemary!!

Oooh MOTH will love these Rosemary! He's the master of interesting insults! We have a great Aussie insult that's become part of our idiom that everyone hurls en masse towards the Referee during Football games when he pays a dubious penalty.

"You great blind white maggot Umpie!" Translated " Dear Mr. Umpire you need an eye test!"
