What's your favorite Shakespearean insult?

[Elok]

Yes, I know this is stupid, but I think it's at least as relevant as some of the other questions up for polling(e.g. the precise date of the Second Coming)...besides, I've never done a poll before.
I like "whoreson" myself.

[DaShi]

I prefer fishmonger.

[Adagio]

I prefer Banana



...no polls are allowed, unless they have the Banana option...

Alas.

Sorry, I didn't know...hopefully some thoughtful mod will tack that option on, as I don't know how to do it myself.

Not a name, but I always liked it when one guys tells another to "go to". I believe it means something like p1ss off.

[Guynemer]

I always got a giggle out of pizzle.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

My all-time favorite is "eater of broken meats." It's from King Lear, but I'm too lazy to look up who says it to whom, or why.

Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?

[Urban Ranger]

Coxcomb

[SlowwHand]

Slut Puppy.

I'm crushed that neither of you philistines supplied the next line from my quote.

[Paul Hanson]

I think it's from Romeo and Juliet, but it was 14 when I last read that and I haven't touched it since.

Old Will and I don't see eye to eye

Although not exactly verbatim, the response "I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I do bite my thumb" would have been acceptable.

You could alternatively have said "Methinks the lady doth protest too much" if you wanted to complain about my complaint.

Also, as a little trivia:
Juliet's question of "Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou, Romeo ?", was intended to be spoken in a tone more reflective of shock and dismay, as they disrobed.
