Shakespeare Insult Generator by Barry Kraft

Shakespeare Insult Generator by Barry Kraft

This entertaining insult generator takes inspiration from the English language's greatest wordsmith, collecting hundreds of the bards most powerfully insulting words in a fun, flip book format. Just add 'thou' before any of the 157,464 different insult combinations and you'll be ready to set dullards and miscreants in their place. From 'apish bald-pated abomination' to 'cuckoldly dull-brained blockhead' to 'obscene rump-fed hornbeast,' each insult can be chosen at random or customised to fit any situation in which a literary smack down is needed. Featuring an informative introduction on Shakespearean wit and notes on which terms are nonce words (words Shakespeare only used once in all of his writings) and terms that were likely coined by Shakespeare himself, this collection is sure to sharpen the tongue and wit of any student of the bard or insult aficionado.

Barry Kraft has been a professional actor for four and a half decades, has specialised in Shakespearean roles, having performed in all 38 plays. He has acted more than 100 different roles in 86 full productions throughout the western United States, including 20 seasons at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Barry has lectured extensively at major universities and theatre companies.
