From King Lear, Act II, Scene 2.

KENT: A knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-liver’d, action-taking knave; a whoreson, glass-gazing, superserviceable, finical rogue; a one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I will beat into clamorous whining if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.

Ah! Those were the days....

Thanks reesetee. From my Shakespearean insults mug:

mountain of mad flesh

light of brain

bolting-hutch of beastliness

not so much brain as ear wax

long-tongu'd babbling gossip

thou art a boil, a plague sore

You rampallian! You fustillarian!

O gull, O dolt, as ignorant as dirt

Clod of wayward marl

false of heart, light of ear, bloody of hand

roast-meat for worms

infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise-breaker

lump of foul deformity

highly fed and lowly taught

all eyes and no sight

all the infections that the sun sucks up

elvish-mark'd, abortive, rooting hog

veriest varlet that ever chewed with a tooth

foot-licker

anointed and sovereign of sighs and groans

lewdly inclin'd

the soul of this man is his clothes

quintessence of dust

canker-blossom

poisonous bunch-back'd toad

a fusty nut with no kernel

beetle-headed, flap-ear'd knave

and my favorite:

I do desire we may be better strangers.

I still stand by "the son and heir of a mongrel bitch" as one of my favorites. How elegantly insulting!

I like meatball mind. The historical context is part of the attraction as apparently it originates in a comment by Henry Kissinger about Richard Nixon.

Foot-licker? Hahaha! Thanks c_b! That's going to be my new driving "cuss" word! It's very satisfying and yet, not really R rated. I think it would qualify for words that sound dirty, but aren't.

Ah, now, *that* term belongs on this list! And thank you! It's been a long time since that list (or any of mine, really...) has had any additions. And such a good one.

"Buck up your courage-bags, boys!"
