10 of the greatest Shakespeare's insults

-

Apart from bringing fantastic plays and sonnets, William Shakespeare coined and used some of the most excellent insults in his work. These insults are way better than swearing and won't make you known for having a potty mouth.

 

 (Damn 'Bard', you are so Savage)
Here are 25 of the greatest Shakespeare insults.










..


1. You poor, base, rascally cheating lack-linen mate!

This means you despise someone's clothing and they are very terrible people.
     It's from Henry IV Part II- Act 2 Scene 4

2. I am sick when I do look on thee.

 Sounds more noxious than "you make me sick."
  It is from a Midsummer Night's Dream -Act II Scene I

 3. I'll beat thee, but I would infect my hands

Oooohh Burn...
For those of us who have a stronger tongue than a fist, this insult is a way to get out of a physical fight.
 It's from Timons of Athens- Act IV Scene III

 4. Away, you three-inch fool!

 HAHAHAHA!!!
This means that the fool you are talking to is short. (don't use this, it is so RUDE)
This one is from The Taming Of The Shrew-Act III Scene III

 5. Villain, I have done thy mother!

 Even though I am so young, I understand this. Bard brother practically invented 'your mom' jokes.
This one is from Titus Andronicus- Act IV Scene II

 6. Thou art a boil, a plague sore

 No one wants to be a plague sore. Shakespeare must have been the sassiest queen of his time
This is from King Lear- Act II Scene II

 7. The rankest compound of villainous smell that ever offended nostril

 'You stink!' or this gold.
This is from The Merry Wives of Windsor-  Act III Scene V

 8. Would thou wert clean enough to spit upon

 This GOLD!!! Thanks, Bard.
This is from Timon of Athens - Act IV Scene III

 9. More of your conversation would infect my brain

 I can totally imagine myself using this on people I don't like.
This is from Coriolanus- Act II Scene I

 10. No longer from head to foot than from hip to hip, she is spherical like a globe, I could find the countries in her.

 Okay, that is just mean. Please, never use this.
This is from The Comedy of Errors- Act 3, Scene II

                                        BONUS
 11. He has not so much brain as ear wax

 This is from Troilus and Cressida- Act V Scene I

 ..........................................................................................................

 Why use 'moron' and  'stupid' when you can use these. But seriously, do not use it to bully people. Use it as a laugh.

 K BYE!!

Hi! I am Parthi Agarwal and welcome to 'The P Word'. Women!! There used to be a time where women were considered the 'weaker gender'. They were not allowed to have jobs. Oppressed for thousands of years...  Especially in India, women were married at the age of 12 or 13 and were cremated or burnt with their dead husbands. This practice was called the 'Sati'. After some time, people had some sense knocked into them and women were allowed to have jobs. But did it stop there, NO! Women were paid less than men. Why? Even I don't know the reason. They were still not valued, even with jobs. Most of them heard "Hon, please get me a doughnut and a coffee with seven cubes of sugar." Hon. Seriously, 'hon'. Most people wonder, 'What is wrong with 'hon'? Well, according to me, when you call a women 'hon', you are implying that their names are not worthy to be remembered. But, there are some women whose name will always
