Shakespeare Insults, Insults, Insults!

Normally, I would never describe "insults" as fabulous. But, here's the deal- Shakespearean insults ARE fabulous. Sooner or later, you'll see why.
Here are some famous Shakespearean insults:

“You muddy conger!”

Uh huh.

“Thou art a boil, a plague sore, an embossed carbuncle!” 

You're comparing me to a disease? Like... Ebola?

“Thy tongue outvenoms all the worms of Nile!”

Beware the mighty SNAKE, guys!

Cool, huh? I'm soon going to insult like that if I keep studying Shakespearean language...
BONUS! Did you know that these insult quotes above are also featured in a popular book? It's called: Into the Gauntlet from The 39 Clues!

Quote From King Lear

“When we are born, we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.”
-Shakespeare, King Lear

King Lear says this line to Gloucester, explaining his theory that babies cry right after birth because they've realized that they have been brought to this terrible world. King Lear was a downer. He's so negative about everything! Well, you can't really blame him, right? What kind of old man with two blood-splattered and empty eye sockets would be happy?
