How to throw out an insult like a (Shakespearean) boss

To celebrate the birth (and death) of Shakespeare on April 23, every year I look at a different aspect of the thespian's life. This time, I selected some choice insults that Shakespeare came up with, and the students got to vote for their favourite.


And the overwhelmingly most popular insult was from Henry V - "Thine face is not worth sunburning."

Oh, burn! (as one student said...)

(Although I think the actual quote is "whose face is not worth sunburning".)

Did you do something to celebrate Shakespeare this year?
