The entire "kit" can be found at Pangloss.com, where Chris Seidel writes, "Since 1996, the origin of this kit was listed as anonymous. It came to me on a piece of paper in the 90's with no attribution, and I thought it would make a cool web page. Though I searched for the origin, I could never find it. In 2014, Lara M informed found the originating author. It appears to be an English teacher at Center Grove High School in Greenwood Indiana named Jerry Maguire."
Seidel also created a web site that generates its own Shakespearian insults, with a button that reads "insult me again." Here are a few of my favorites (although I would not dream of actually using them in real life, it's fun to think about using them):
- [Thou art] a disease that must be cut away. (from Coriolanus)
- [Thy] face is not worth sunburning. (from Henry V)
- Thou villainous fat-kidneyed nut-hook! (from insult kit)
- Thou loggerheaded dread-bolted skainsmate! (from insult kit)
- Sell your face for five pence and 'tis dear. (from King John)
