Eloquent Insults (Shakespeare)


It’s now the 400th anniversary of The Bard’s death. He’s best known for enriching English Literature with his fantastic plays and sonnets, which are still relevant and poignant today. However, he also contributed something else to the world - he coined and used some absolutely excellent insults throughout his work. These are all far more cutting and verbose than swearing, and won’t make you known for having a potty mouth.
