Sally Kilpatrick:
What's your favorite Shakespearean insult?
Sally Kilpatrick
Wow. Do I have to pick just one? Hmmm. As I've mentioned before, there's a certain linguistic joy to "You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things." I also thought "canker-blossom" was fun to say right up until I found out it was an Elizabethan euphemism for genital wart. Not as keen now.
