For context, the above insults are from the swordfights from the LucasArts game The Secret of Monkey Island. The combat system works like sword fighting in real life: he who talks the best smack wins. The conventional battles in the game are fought against random wandering pirates (Arrr!), which accounts for the "pirate" insults listed above. After trying these insults in battle for a while, one will eventually run into a pirate that knows the reply. Then you can use these replies in battle yourself, which accounts for the responses above labelled "Guybrush" (Guybrush Threepwood being the protagonist of the game). Then, after one has mastered the various ripostes to the pirate insults, they can be used in battle with the swordmaster, at which point you must struggle to match the various responses Guywood has learned to the insults dealt out. Which is to say that the above writeup, by giving away all the insults, is something of a spoiler. No matter.

An interesting fact about these insults is that the end credits of the game, without fanfare, list the author to be Orson Scott Card! I knew they were a little too good...
