Hey, You Swaggering Rascal Over There!

After finding that fun haiku shirt the other day, I found myself spending an ill-advised amount of time on the Internet looking at “writerly” shirts and other products. One of the coolest things I came across really doesn’t fit my personal style at all. As a shirt, I’m not really all that interested in the style, BUT I so dig the fact that it includes a collection of Shakespearean insults and wanted to share some of the best ones here.

When I insult someone, I generally just end up sounding petty and awkward. I mean, there are very few occasions where “Nuh-uh” or “YOU are” really elevate one’s argument. From now on, I think I’m going to refer to someone who annoys me as a “filthy bung” or a “damned furious wight.”
