Shakspearian insults and a half-request

[clever-hobbit.livejournal.com]

This is slightly OT, but recently I recieved a mug with Shakspearian insults written all over it, and I thought some of them are quite iconable. Here are the quotes, if anyone's interested.



beetle-headed, flap-ear'd knave

lewdly inclined

O gull, O dolt, as ignorant as dirt

glad of wayward marl

false of heart, light of ear, bloody of hand

roast-meat for worms

infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise-breaker

annointed sovereign of sighs and groans

The soul of this man is his clothes.

quintessence of dust

canker-blossom

poisonous bunch-back'd toad

a fusty nut with no kernel

foot-licker

lump of foul deformity

highly fed and lowly taught

all eyes and no sight

all the infections that the sun sucks up

elvish-mark'd abortive, rooting hog

veriest varlet that ever chewed with a tooth

I do desire that we may be better strangers.

You rampallian! You fustilarian!

mountain of mad flesh

light of brain

bolting-hutch of beastliness

not so much brain as earwax

long tongu'd babbling gossip

thou art a boil, a plague sore

The italicized quotes are ones I'd really like to see made into icons, but I really don't care if anyone makes any or not. I just thought it might be fun. :)

I have the same mug! It's fantastic.

Hm, it might be fun to take a swing at some of these if I have time this weekend. Incidentally, I posted several Shakespearean insulticons a while back (http://community.livejournal.com/book_icons/417384.html), if you're interested, though I don't think any of the ones on your list above were iconified.

OMGYOURICON!

May I steal it? Please please pretty please? That is my absolute favorite quote from MAAN.

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

Sure, go ahead, I'd appreciate credit. That whole conversation between Beatrice and the Prince is my favorite in all of Shakespeare.

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

*points to journal title*

Beatrice is the best heroine Shakespeare ever created.

And of course I'll give you credit!

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

Heh. Your journal title comes from my favorite scene in Shakespeare ever...and you have lovebars featuring Rogue and Gambit...clearly you are cool and deserve to use my Beatrice icon.

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

I love that scene because I think it really captures Beatrice's personality.

Rogue and Gambit are my X-men OTP and I'm so peeved that he's not going to be in the third movie. I was promised Gambit and I haven't got him. They're putting MULTIPLE in the movie but not Gambit. *is sad*

Which are completely awesome. *points to own icon*

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yay! It always makes me feel like a rock star when I see someone using an icon I made.

Let me know what you think, because I am inclined to make more if you want!

[clever-hobbit.livejournal.com]

That's great! Thanks. I'm snagging it for future use. :)

[lanthirel.livejournal.com]

I saved it. :) If you want to make more, please post them in the comn, because I know I will be looking for them. :)

happy birthday! or something...

Earwax for your viewing pleasure. (you know, that may well be the grossest thing I've ever said.)

I do love me some Shakspearian insults.

[fortissima.livejournal.com]

I'll take a stab at it, if you don't mind.

[lanthirel.livejournal.com]

Clever Will! :) Thanks for posting these. ;)
