Really Creative Insults
It's hard to shake people up these days--everyone is so jaded and recherche. It's tough to make an insult stick. I like this:
I scorn you, scurvy companion. What, you poor, base, rascally, cheating, lack-linen mate! Away, you moldy rogue, away!
Taken from: Henry IV, part 2
Shakespeare is still the high water mark.
What's your favorite insult?

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
