Happy Birthday Shakespeare, You Mountain of Mad Flesh!
Today is the day widely recognized/celebrated as William Shakespeare’s birthday. By my calculations, the bard would be turning 445 today. Huh. No spring chicken. So, in honour of William Shakespeare‘s birthday* today, check out this fantastic Shakespeare Insult Generator.
Among my favourites that I saw:
“[Thou] mountain of mad flesh!”
“Thou art the rudeliest welcome to this world.”
“[Thou art] like the toad, ugly and venomous.”
“Thou puking sheep-biting baggage!”
and my very favourite:
“Thou wimpled rump-fed hugger-mugger!”
Aw, Willie. You say the sweetest things.
*from Shakespeare’s wikipedia page: “William Shakespeare was the son of John Shakespeare, a successful glover and alderman originally from Snitterfield, and Mary Arden, the daughter of an affluent landowning farmer. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon and baptised on 26 April 1564. His unknown birthday is traditionally observed on 23 April, St George’s Day. This date, which can be traced back to an eighteenth-century scholar’s mistake, has proved appealing because Shakespeare died on 23 April 1616. He was the third child of eight and the eldest surviving son.”
