Shakespeare, it’s well known, had a thing for words. If you don’t, and you’re feeling a little frustrated by him, you might not even know how to express yourself properly. That’s just way too tragically ironic. Here’s a few choice phrases you might want to lob at the bard on resurrection day to help yourself get over it.
- Thou Mammering Folly-Fallen Pumpion
- Thou Saucy Flap-Mouthed Dewberry
- Thou Lumpish Toad-Spotted Gudgeon
That ought to show him. There’s more at the Shakespeare Insult Kit. Don’t be unprepared.

I’ve been drawing foul bunch-backed toads in my notebook all weekend, Patricia. But they all turn out looking more like drunken hump-backed frogs.
Welcome to Upper Fort Stewart, Patricia!
