What's your favorite Shakespearean insult? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

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.

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.

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

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

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.

Tired of ads?

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.

Cullion, which comes from a medieval word for scrotum and is used to describe over-testosteroned boors.

* FrustratedPoet puts on his literary geek hat.

Actually, that line is often misquoted and is supposed to mean 'Why are you Romeo?', not "Where are you Romeo?". It's pretty obvious from context since it accompanies the "A rose by any other name..." speech.

But as the quintessential Renaissance Man I'm sure you already knew that Sloww.

(Ok, a little birdie explained his interpretation of this remark.)

I wasn't referring to you, SlowwHand. I was answering the question in the subject line.
