Ever wanted to'air the lungs (1)'like a cowboy or dreamed of channelling the wit of Shakespeare to deliver that killer put-down to an Elizabethan fustilarian (2) Are you too much of a medieval scobberlotcher (3) to realise this ambition Well,you're in luck,becauseThe History of Insultshas some of the finest put-downs of all time - starting with the Ancient Romans and Greeks and working through the centuries to modern times. This means you can dish out the best burns to bacon-fed bell swaggers (4) to your heart's content. As they used to say in 19th-century London,'It's more than enough to make a stuffed bird laugh!'(1) Swear; (2) Scoundrel; (3) Lazy person; (4) Fat,loudmouth bullies
