If you've ever longed for that perfect insult, but just couldn't think of the right words, The Bard is there for you. Organized by category. Very canonical.

if you are into Sakespeare or really just want to insult someone without their actually knowing it - this book is for you. Very entertaining in a Monty Pythonesque way.
