The Shakespeare Insult Kit

Today’s world is moving at record speed. And sometimes you simply don’t have time to come up with insults worthy of your razor-sharp sardonic wit.
What’s a busy wag to do?
Simple. Print off a copy of today’s very lightweight text-only website and keep it handy the next time the need arises to insult someone in a Shakespearean fashion.
It’s called the Shakespeare Insult Kit, and here’s how it works:


You have three columns. The first two are adjectives, the last nouns. Begin with “Thou” and select one insult from each column.
Examples:

Thou yeasty, shard-borne whey-face!
Thou pribbling, toad-spotted malt-worm!
Easy, huh? Have fun . . .
