Shakespeare’s vast vocabulary and creative use of language (remember he coined many new words and expressions?) lends itself to especially humourous and cutting insults.
Here is an example :
"Thou weedy muddy-mottled maggot-pie"
> weedy = couvert de mauvaise herbe
> muddy-mottled = tâché de boue
> maggot-pie = tarte aux asticots

Never run out of insults and surprise your rival / opponent / the man who has just double-crossed you in the queue : create your own Shakespearean insults.

BE CREATIVE !
Use the document below to create some juicy Shakespearean
insults !

HOW ?
Simply say “THOU…” - and complete the insult by picking a single word from all three columns. Example: “THOU… 1) Dissembling, 2) fly-bitten, 3) barnacle!”

OR...
Use the Shakespearean Insults Generator : http://www.literarygenius.info/a3-shakespeare-insult-generator.htm
