the line is from a play called the merchant of Venice
Shakespeare did not use the phrase "a boiling idiot". You are probably thinking of "a blinking idiot", which comes from The Merchant of Venice.
The meaning or insult 'Blinking idiot' comes from Shakespeares Play 'Merchant of Venice' Thankyou for looking up Shakespeares plays they are a great historian play!
Yes, it's from The Merchant of Venice
Elizabethan English is still English, and "idiot" in English is "idiot". It is ridiculous to think that Shakespeare wrote in a foreign language. Examples of "idiot" in Shakespeare include "Tis a tale told by an idiot" (Macbeth) and "the portrait of a blinking idiot" (Merchant of Venice)
The prince of Arragon in The Merchant of Venice selects the silver casket with "Who chooseth me shall get as much as he deserves" written upon it, believing that he deserves every great thing that comes his way. As a result of his arrogance, he receives 'a portrait of a blinking idiot'.

Portia said 'blinking idiot' in the Merchant of Venice.
The phrase "blinking idiot" is not a direct quote from any of William Shakespeare's plays. It may be a modern adaptation or interpretation of a character's dialogue in one of his works, but it is not a famous line from Shakespeare's original text.
It is a phrase that means just what it says -- someone was blinking their eyes between whatever else was in the original sentence.
"Blinking" is a minced oath. It stands for "bloody," which until recently was as taboo in Britain as the f-word was in America
