I prefer the original ones :xp:. How can you beat "You sir, are a fishmonger"?! I ask you: how?

 

It's an insult on two levels. First, Hamlet is saying it to a nobleman (Polonius) so it's insinuating that his position is unwarranted. Second, fishmonger's daughters were generally considered to be... loose. He's basically calling Polonius a brothel-keeper.

 

There, see... Shakespeare did it better - it's almost like Frasier. :p

 

But just to join in: Thou spleeny puisny-tilted ingested-lump!
