Shakespearean Insults

• Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death
• Thy head is as full of quarrels as an egg is full of meat
• No longer from head to foot than from hip to hip, she is spherical, like a globe, I could find out contries in her
• Thou lump of foul deformity
• Thou unfit for any place but hell
• He heareth not, he stirreth not, he moveth not, the ape is dead
• You kiss by the book
• Why he's a man of wax
• You should be women and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so
• Whose horrible image doth unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock at my ribs
• You egg, you fry of treachery
• Fit to govern, No, not to live
• I had rather be a toad, and live upon the vapour of a dungeon, than keep a corner in the thing I love for others uses
• Damn her, lewd minx
• You have such a February face, so full of frost, of storm and cloudiness
• I do not like your look, I promise thee
• You Banbury cheese
• King Urinal
• She's a great lubbery boy
• Thou disease of a friend

• It is certain that when he makes water his urine is congealed ice
• Your means are very slender, and your waste is great
• You are as a candle, the better part burnt out
• I think he be transformed into a beast; for I can nowhere find him like a man
• Away!, Thou art poison to my blood
• As I told you always, her beauty and her brain go not together
• I'll pray a thousand prayers for your death
• Come, you are a tedious fool
• He is deformed, crooked, old and sere, ill faced, worse bodied, shapeless everywhere, vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind, stigmatical in making, worse in mind
• Were I like thee, I would throw away myself
• Would thou were clean enough to spit on
• I'll beat thee, but I should infect my hands
• Thou art like the harpy, which, to betray, dost with thine angels face, seize with thine eagle's talons
• Your peevish chastity is not worth a breakfast in the cheapest country
• He is open to incontinency
• A knot you are of damned blood suckers
• Thy mothers name is ominous to children
• Pray you, stand farther from me
  You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things
• There's many a man hath more hair than wit
• If thou art changed to aught, tis to an ass
