    Does anyone here have any medieval insults, like in the tutorial the instructor calls you a wet-eared welp(sp?)

    I'd like to go up to some people and spit out some old-launguage insults.

    Whoreson, whoremonger, poxed coward... Not strictly medieval, but Shakespeare has some brilliant insults as well.

    Insults? I have some real medieval era Old English ones and a whole stack of medieval sounding ones. I love fiddling with language

    Real medieval ones.
    Odsplut
    Golter-yeded gawpsheet
    Curpin
    Mundungus
    Honyoker
    mudsill
    ballarag
    borborygmite
    scroyle
    skellum
    gundygut

    Try Chaucer for many more authentic insults.

    Others
    Ah, so many of these it would take me half an hour to write them all down Even longer to read through my 'Machiavellian Adventures of Princess Eleanor' story in the Mead hall and note them all down...hundreds of them, gah Selected highlights include: scrubble, scrimble jawed slaggard, scavardly knave, trundlewit,...all the best ones need to be seen in context or they don't work so I'll leave those out.

    May I also recommend 'taffer'? Wonderful word, made up for a game called Thief: The Dark Project and it means criminal lowlife. Wonderful word, it rolls off the tongue nicely, best of all it sounds so friendly so it is perfect for those occasions where you need something to say but don't want to risk your skin.

    ooh that sounds menacing: You Ballarag...

    I was playing Thief and Thief II lately, and began thinking of modern insults that are converted into Hammerspeak (Olde English). Unfortunately, none of them are PG-Rated.
    Example: (with the words edited, of course)

    Dost thou sucketh mine ROOSTER like thine FEMALE DOG that thou art?
    What manner of BUNDLE OF STICKSry dost thou lay upon me?
    Verily, thine BABY-MAKING JUICE is much like a plump roast duck, for thine manservants enjoy thine taste.

    Hmmm....so that's what she meant when my girlfriend called me a pox-strewn gundygut.

    Taffer: A rogue, thief, trickster. Expression most often used as a cuss-word and for name-calling, but also known to be adopted by thieves as a honorable distinction.

    YOU FRENCHMAN
    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."
    ~ Niccolo Machiavelli

    Here are some used by the more educated classes. Spoken in Latin:

    Nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem (You ugly smeller of other people's private parts)

    canis culum in tuo naso, Galli (A dog's butt in your face, Frenchman)

    Utinam barbari spatium proprium tuum invadant. (May barbarians invade your personal space.)

    Flexilis sum, gluten es, me resilit, ad te haeret. (I'm rubber, you're glue, bounces off me, sticks to you.)
