Tongue & Dagger, a Shakespearean Insult Engine

Field notes

The interface separates three kinds of output: direct Shakespeare quotations, constructed insults assembled from historical vocabulary, and a deliberately less scholarly “Bardcore” mode. A sample result is accompanied by a plain-language translation and a three-part vocabulary anatomy, defining “artless,” “beetle-headed,” and “coxcomb.” The controls also let visitors choose whether the result should merely bruise, alter relations, or leave “no survivors.”
