Welcome to my 7th Challenge. Thank you Arlee Bird! I know a certain Brit with a certain dog, who's a modest internet star, who thinks we are all crazy for doing this. So I'm doing something off the wall and a bit different just to put a smile on his face (and yours too I hope) and her muzzle if they so happen to stop by.
It's all about the A to Z of:
Shakespearean Insults
Today's insult: Thou art surely a HEDGE-BORN maggot-pie.
AND
Surrealist Compliments!
Today's compliment: Your layers of absinthe form concretion to HYPERALIMENTAION.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so glad I discovered you on the A to Z Challenge! We're doing something a bit (kinda sorta) similar. (I'm diving into the thesaurus to see what I might find.) I love your insults and compliments. Absolutely fabulous!

I love the maggot pie insult :) I'd get a bit tongue twisted saying the compliment :)
ReplyDeleteJust reading maggot-pie made my stomach flip!
ReplyDeleteMaggot-pie. Well, I never! For some reason, the insults are more fun than the complements.

ReplyDeleteLOL with a maggot pie; the imagery that has in my mind!
ReplyDeletebetty
That last one is a really big word.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! A HEDGE-BORN maggot-pie. I love that!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what hedge-born means but maggot-pie is pretty straightforward.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Thanks for making me laugh - whodda thunk I'd get such a kick out of being insulted in Shakespearean English? I have no idea what the surreal compliment means, but the pic is cool. Reminds me of Dali. Have a great weekend, Bish! :)
ReplyDeleteI think we were all knocked out by maggot-pie.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so it's sort of understandable that you might find maggots in a hedge (if there's something dead in the hedge) - but that compliment defeats me! :)

Maggot-pie is quite an offensive insult!
ReplyDeletethanks for a previous comment now I kinda get the insult, which is awful indeed hehehe, but sadly I did not understand the compliment. Oh my your posts are so much fun, it's a good thing I changed my usual course and visited you blog.

Shakespeare's a rascal and LOL funny when you read his work in the dialect he intended. Googled the compliment and got a lot of game FAQs and poems - though I still don't totally get it, it does roll nicely off the tongue :-) Good luck with the rest of the AtoZchallenge.
