David Crystal writes about insults in English in his blog post On Insulting Brits. In it he mentions flyting, a type of contest based on insult exchange, and Shakespeare's work as sources of inspiration for unimaginative angry heated people.

Shakespeare's insults sorted out by plays.
A Shakespearean Insulter presenting one sentence at a time.
Shakespearean Insults Generator produces new insults by combining Shakespeare's words and expressions at random.
