The Art Of the Insult

I recently had the pleasure of attending the play "As You Like It". Before the play, I participated in a walk with a Shakespearean schoolar who, in addition to talking about the play and the city the play was presented in, lamented the lost art of the insult. "All people do today is use the 'f' word." His solution was a mix and match "Create Your Own Shakespearean Insults" sheet. With his permission, I have turned his sheet into an applet that create insults for you. The original author prefers to remain anonymous, but has agreed to let me create this page.

Creating a Shakespearean Insult

Just press the Insult button and out pops a new Shakespearean insult.
