Thou caluminous half-faced flap-dragon!

In civility thou seem'st so empty.

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!

Thine horrid image doth unfix my hair.

If you spend word for word with me, I shall make your wit bankrupt.

In truth, I know not why I metachat.

Thou ruttish, fool-born maggot pie!

Flap-dragon is a game. (Warning: Splinters off into a thousand directions.)

Thou gorbellied lily-livered hugger-mugger!

Have at thee!

Dau. For the Dauphin, 124
I stand here for him: what to him from England?
Exe. Scorn and defiance, slight regard, contempt,
And anything that may not misbecome
The mighty sender, doth he prize you at. 128
Thus says my king: an if your father’s highness
Do not, in grant of all demands at large,
Sweeten the bitter mock you sent his majesty,
He’ll call you to so hot an answer of it, 132
That caves and womby vaultages of France
Shall chide your trespass and return your mock
In second accent of his ordinance.

Henry V Act 2, sc. IV

Metachat: Cometh for the insults, hence forth to a lexicograph.
but I like womby vaultages

Heh, I wrote one of those for my Perl class a few years ago. It must be a pretty common student exercise.

Methink'st thou art a general offence and every man should beat thee.

Heh. The classics never go out of style.
