Pub Brawls

I like the way insults have evolved over time. For example, if because of some horrible misunderstanding I sparked a pub fight, the sort of insults flying around from fellow brawlers would undoubtedly be along the lines of, "I'm gonna' snap you like a Twiglet!"

Back in Shakespeares day these insults weren't even on the horizon. They had to settle for phrases like "I'll unhair thy head, villain!" personally I like these types of insults more. The fact that in reality they're really not offensive at all adds to their charm. Although, I imagine if I threatened to 'unhair' a mans head during a riot in the year 2009, the only head being 'unhaired' would be mine.
