I was watching a rerun of Saturday Night Live yesterday, with Conan O'Brien as guest. He was in this hilarious sketch where he played George "The Gentleman Masher" Concoran, an Irish boxer who supposedly ruled the ring from 1912-1914, in a spoof of an episode of ESPN Classic. Chris Parnell as announcer said "There is good evidence to show that George Concoran may have been the first trash-talker in sports." Simulated old footage had ol' George issuing his fightin' words:

"I'll put corn in his muffin!"

"I shall encrimson his face. Then I shall land him a blow in the mouth region, from which the blood will flow forth quite copiously!"

"I'll baste your turkey!"

and my favorite:

"I'll butter his bean and serve it to him cold!"
