V is for...

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
First Folio





Today's insult: Thou art a VAIN and VILLAINOUS clapper-clawed apple-john.






AND







Surrealist Compliments!

Today's compliment: Your VITALITY ferments without the need of oxygen. 
















May they cause you to smile.
May they lighten your day and help you take things less seriously.
Pass them on if you would like.
Make up your own and share in the comments.

  6. Hi Bish - clapper-clawed apple-john - what a great description ... An apple so called from its being at maturity about St. John's Day (May 6th). We are told that apple-johns will keep for two years, and are best when shrivelled. “I am withered like an old apple-john.” Shakespeare: 1 Henry IV. iii. 3.

    Such a great word, let alone the description I found via google ..

    So funny - cheers Hilary
