Mome,
malt-horse, capon, coxcomb, idiot, patch!
Dromio of Syracuse
The Comedy of Errors Act III, Scene i, Line 32
Yes Mojo, I believe these are all insults that Dromio of Syracuse is yelling at Dromio of Ephesus. No Mojo, I would never call you a coxcomb.
Merriam Webster online:
Mome: blockhead, fool (archaic)
Capon: a castrated male chicken
Coxcomb: jester’s cap (archaic), fool
(obsolete)
Patch: noun (2) fool, dolt
Nothing for Malt-horse.
So, other than malt-horse, these insults are all available in Merriam Webster online. How about that?
He's such a sensitive little guy.
I would never call him a coxcomb, or a mome, or malt-horse, or any of these things.
