As a sort of companion to the recent BS thread "Complaint Dept." I just found this site and had to share it with you all.

Each time you refresh the page a new Shakespearean insult is generated. Here are a couple of examples:

Thou villainous dismal-dreaming foot-licker.

Thou weedy fen-sucked nut-hook.

Thou surly toad-spotted flap-dragon.

Let's see some of these in the threads!*BG*

"Thou gorbellied spur-galled minnow."

Hmmm . . . maybe I can get some use out of that today, as it's my last day before a very deserved (if I must say so myself) week's vacation and I'm sure some sales weasel will come in with some fresh hell to cope with before escaping.

Gotta pass this site on to my not-yet-Mudcat-addicted husband, Tom Hall.

Thou churlish dread-bolted apple-john.
Great site.
Cheers Kat!

...I haven't had a chance to check out the site, but I will as soon as I post this thought: that some of the funniest insults I have heard came from Monty Python's "Holy Grail" movie: "Your mother was a hamster and your father stank of elderberries, you son of a window dresser. I fart in your general direction and wave my private parts at your auntie."

So now we can generate the insults, then run them through the translator....

be afraid....be very afraid.
