I should really hope that no one is taking this particular foolishness seriously. It is fun and it's amusing to find that they (or at least the ones I looked up) really did come from the pen of the bard.

@Dragon - Haha, that was sarcasm, lol, if you ~did~ mean it then that'd be news to me. (Also sarcasm here btw
).[Thou art] pigeon-liver'd and lack gall.

I would expect that most of the responses to this thread were meant in jest.
Nope, I still have my gall bladder so it still produces gall ... I've got enough, I guess.
Now for the requisite "insult":
Thou art some fool, I am loath to beat thee.

Hehehehe
You know, @Dragon it makes me wonder why gall and gallbladder are associated? Next time I'm bedtime procrastinating I'll look it up LOL
I'll toss this in to stir up the pot!
You are a shallow cowardly hind, and you lie.

I didn't know that deer were associated with shallowness and lying either lol lol
RE: Shakespearean insults! - nikoo_o - 01-22-2022
@UnicornSmudge - The gall in gallbladder is the part where bile is produced to digest food and stuff, but it's also the part that when you feel scared and stuff, where you end up feeling nausea, having bile fill your mouth, and also... vomit (kinda).
So in this sense it'd probably mean that.... "Thou art [an idiot] and [coward]." (Not you of course though
). P.s. I researched this a few months/years back so I may have mixed it up with something else haha (just something to keep in mind).
@Dragon I had to zoom in really, really hard to see your quote....
(Oh, either something glitched or that was edited bc that text isn't nearly as small now.... lol)
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!
