- From Hamlet

This insult is seemingly simple, but is pretty funny when you research the meaning behind it. "Fishmonger" has a double meaning because not only does it refer to someone of a low social status (a fish salesman), it also refers to, for a lack of better terms, a p.i.m.p. This is because the man who Hamlet directs this to exploited his daughter to see if Hamlet was crazy]]> 2018-10-03 03:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cbteaches/shakesinsults/wish/288436807 Allen Lin https://padlet.com/cbteaches/shakesinsults/wish/288443165 Thou loathed issue of thy father's loins!

This means that you're speaking like you don't know what you're talking about - and if you are smarter than that - I can't tell in your malice.]]> 2018-10-03 04:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cbteaches/shakesinsults/wish/288444822 Rachel Hardisty https://padlet.com/cbteaches/shakesinsults/wish/288445844 "Thou puny ill-nurtured malcontent!"

This means that you are foolish, and weak. "Malcontent" means agitator which shows that Shakespeare is bothered by this person.
