I love this, and yea though it may violate the Termes of Servyffe, I use in in a random rota with http://montypythonipsum.com and http://loripsum.net to generate very amusing conversations for testing chat clients and customer service logs and such.

I ran a personalized shakespearean insult service in 1994. You had to enter your name to get a customised insult directed at you. Also offered insults by email (it was a simpler time and @whitehouse.gov was not online). It used the same word lists as this one, which must have been floating around for much longer.
Back then you could put up a webpage with a simple CGI like that, some dozen Escher prints downloaded from gopher, and receive a variety of shady "best of the web" award-gifs and even have your site listed in some print guidbooks to the web.

In college my roommates and I got quite a lot of use out of a Shakespearean insult magnetic poetry set.
Yessir, those were some good times. Even if I did have to live with a paltry-headed flout louse whose need of brain is infinite

I have this in mug. Also the Shakespeare love mug. It's awkward when my wife and I want to both drink from these at the same time - who gets which?

I'm a big fan of this type of thing. Here's a Shakespearean curse word generator flip book that I made.

I don't think this one is very good, and I bite my thumb at it.

Incidentally, along the lines of procedurally generating text, it's almost time for Nanogenmo 2017.

On the general theme of Shakespeare's naughty language, : a thematically-relevant tumblr post from artist Amy Mebberson, in her Pocket Princesses series of one-panel gag comics.

I wrote a Shakespearean insult generator in a Perl programming class in nineteen-ninety-mumble.
