Purchase options and add-ons

Put dullards and miscreants in their place with more than 150,000 handy mix-and-match insults in the bard's own words. This entertaining insult generator and flip book collects hundreds of words from Shakespeare's most pointed barbs and allows readers to combine them in creative and hilariously stinging ways. From "apish bald-pated abomination" to "cuckoldly dull-brained blockhead" to "obscene rump-fed hornbeast," each insult can be chosen at random or customized to fit any situation that calls for a literary smackdown. Featuring an informative introduction on Shakespearean wit, and notes on which terms were coined or only used once by the author in his work, this delightful book will sharpen the tongue of Shakespeare fans and insult aficionados without much further ado.

"Let's face it. If you spend enough time on the Internet, someone's going to purposely insult you, probably in boring old four-letter fashion. If you're a big enough person, you can close the browser, chat, or email window and turn the other cheek. Or you can break out the spiral bound Shakespeare Insult Generator and mix and match the bard's words to your nefarious purposes. Each page is broken into three flippable cards for over 150,000 combinations of high-brow contempt. On the back of each card is a translation, so you can know exactly what taunt you've tossed. What are you waiting for, you beslubbering, leptus-leering costermonger? "

Insult with panache!

I teach a Shakespeare class. This was a great ice-breaker for the students. They had such a wonderful time learning how Shakespeare created some of the insults we use to this day! This would make a wonderful gift for any Shakespeare enthusiast or English teacher! Enjoy!

This Compilation of Colorful Shakespearean Insults Should Amuse and Delight

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a very interesting little book, as it collects all the colorful insults used in Shakespeare's plays. The book is cleverly constructed so you can selectively flip three different insult categories to form a composite insult in Shakespeare's inimitable style. Many of his colorful insults were used only once in his many plays, so they would be otherwise hard to find. But they are all indexed here for your enjoyment. I admit, the subject of this book is so limited that it will provide only a few minutes of amusement. But it is unique and brings to mind the colorful language of many plays that I have not seen performed for years. So reading a few insults from this book always brings back enjoyable memories of the Bard's plays and makes me smile. That's enough for me. Also, this book rests on a coffee table of my home and announces to one and all that I am a serious follower of the Bard, but still enjoy a laugh at his often creative, outrageous and sometimes memorable quotes.

Insult Someone in a Fast Witted, Sharp Tounged Way That Would Make Shakespeare Proud

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

The Shakespeare Insult Generator is a great tool for anyone willing to rise to the occasion and insult another person properly. Four letter words are so low brow, when compared to the beauty and wit of Shakespeare. Each page of this three ring bound book is divided into three sections with an insulting noun, adjective, or adverb used by the bard. On the back is the definition.
It is extremely fun to have verbal sparring contests with this handy booklet. Leave one out on the coffee table and see what happens - it does liven things up for sure. I would recommend buying two copies or more and having contests for most original insult. This book can be a lot of fun at parties. So don't be a slobbery, muddy-mettled dullard. Pick up a copy today and enhance your vocabulary (and your spectrum of insults).

You'd have to be a goatish barren-spirited fleshmonger to truly dislike this book! I've "insulted" every onion-eyed barnacle I know!
Seriously, this book is so much fun, whether you're 8 or 88, you can't go wrong!

It's perfect for insulting your siblings

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2018

I recently bought this as a secret santa gift for my roommate because what's better than throwing Shakespeare insults at each other during finals week? As soon as I got the package, I immediately flipped through the pages and sent some of the insults I made to my brother. I almost don't want to give it out as a gift and keep it for myself to make family Christmas parties more interesting. Overall, I think it's a great, funny gift for anybody, children and adults. And for the price, I might end up buying another one for my brothers.
