With the interesting development of Sir Derek Jacobi and others questioning the authorship of much, if not all, of William Shakespeare’s works (HERE and HERE) I was reminded of the natty “Shakepseare Insult Kit” or “Taunter”

There are many writers, authors, poets, actors and thinkers who have doubted the Bard’s authenticity, including Mark Twain, Henry James, Walt Whitman, Charles Dickens, Orson Welles, Charlie Chaplin, Sir John Gielgud

You might want to take a look at the insulter but I don’t reckon you can take it…

…You starvelling, you eel-skin, you dried neat’s-tongue, you bull’s-pizzle, you stock-fish–O for breath to utter what is like thee!-you tailor’s-yard, you sheath, you bow-case, you vile standing tuck!

(Henry IV, part I)
