In the 16th century, insults often drew on vivid language and clever wordplay. Terms like "jackanapes" (a cheeky or impertinent person) and "mumblecrust" (a toothless beggar) were common. Other insults included "gudgeon" (a naive person) and calling someone a "dullard" for being slow-witted. These insults reflected the era's wit and theatricality, often used in literature and social exchanges.
