Insult of the day

How art thou, thou globby bottle of cheap, stinking chip oil? Come and get one in the yarbles, if you have any yarbles, you eunich jelly thou!
---Alex, in The Clockwork Orange

Nice blend of Shakespearean English, Captain Haddock-isms and street-side slang! It very well depicts the feeble intellectualism of Alex eclipsed by his violent nature. That’s why the tagline of the movie aptly said – “Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven.”
