or, if you're looking for Shakespeare, sure as Birnam wood Do come to Dunsinane, the Bard doth cometh to www.ShakespeareanWorks.com.

Shakespearean insults may be all well and good but you can't fully comprehend them without the context of British trash barrel humor or Cockney Rhyming Slang.  Best give it a look before you get down to the nitty-gritty or syphon the python.

Here we appreciate good words such as "anomia", which ironically, describes a brain-injury condition in which those so-afflicted (for instance, as a result of the signature injury of the Iraq War) are robbed of language capability especially as it applies to names-nouns.  To learn more about how to help eradicate anomia we recommend the incredible work being done by Bob and Lee Woodruff of The Bob Woodruff Foundation at www.remind.org where they have joined the fight, tooth and nail, cheek by jowl, after Bob Woodruff suffered the signature injury in an IED detonation while covering the war as a television news correspondent.
