How to make an Insult

There are three columns on the other side of 

this page: A, B, and C. To make an insult, 

pick one word from each column and string 

them together.

For example, taking the first word in each 

column  gives  you  the  insult:  “artless  base-

court apple-john.”

How to use your Insults

1) Write a short, simple scene, or use the one 

below.

A: Hey!


B: Hello there.

A: Let me by, I have to cross this bridge.

B: You can’t.

A: Why not?

B: Because.

A: Cause why?

B:  Cause  there’s  a  bear  on  the  other 

side.


A: Why didn’t you say so?

2) Pepper your scene with an many insults 

as you like.

A: Hey thou gorbellied, motley-minded 

hugger-mugger!

B:  Hello  there  thou  yeasty,  clapper-

clawed strumpet.

A:  Let  me  by,  thou  frothy  dizzy-eyed 

maggot pie. I have to cross this bridge.

B: You can’t.

A: Why not?

B:  Because,  thou  surly  guts  gripping 

harpy.

A:  Cause  why,  thou  dankish  sheep 



biting pignut?

B:  Cause  there’s  a  bear  on  the  other 

side.

A: Why didn’t you say so, thou mewling 



swagbellied footlicker?

3) Read them aloud.



You  too  can  speak 

Shakespeare! 

Nothing 

sounds  more  authentic 

than insults.
