Where's the guy who could insult you in Olde English???
I saw his thread once in the Lounge a while ago, and it seemed to me now would be a good time for a Chaucerian verbal ass kicking.

5. Here are some Old English insults....
Apparently intended for Battle of Hastings re-enactors.
www.geocities.com/egfrothos/miscellaneous/oldenglishinsults.html

Chaucer spoke (wrote) Middle English. One may study his language on the internet, but insult lists are not immediately evident. (I do recall that Chaucer was no prude.)

Shakespeare's way with words extended to a genius at invective. But his language is considered (Early) Modern English.

Alas, the Gaelic Curse Generator has disappeared from the internets.
