I wrote a simple iPhone app that creates insults based on Scotch slang and Shakespearean words, at the expense of shamelessly degrading myself with self-promotion, https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1238956121

The movie Roadhouse has “chickendick.” The three plosives and consistent vowels make it pretty fun to say.

Fuckbonnet doesn’t seem like a particularly good swearword to me; it feels particularly weak for David Simon.
It’s more confusing than other, more nonsensical words because it sounds like it’s supposed to mean something - e.g. something an Amish lady would put on before going out for casual sex, or a really gross, confused attempt at a euphemism for vagina.
I think the rules given are solid, though. That one just feels like a bit of a misfire.

I dunno. Penguins are funnier, though (and as a word), so that more than makes up for the meter.

Sounds like another way of saying condom.

This analysis and construction of new sweary words is fine as it goes, but for really effective use of profanity, you need to do more than just throw around pleasing little new words. No, you need to make your insults mean something by combining imaginative profanity with well-chosen barbs and real venom behind it.

That woman at the end with the sign on the golf course is perfection.

No one beats the Scottish at swearing. No one.

Trump is a tangerine ballbag faced sackless numpty of a shitgibbon, with a rotting rodents scrotum sack for hair.

I think you said “self-promotion” when you meant “lurid exhibitionism”.

That’s an awful lot of testicular references and dangling participles in 1 sentence, what’s sagging on your mind today?

The ‘tm’ thing isn’t working for me… perhaps Dungmallard instead?

I’ve long been terribly fond of Monkeyjuggler. So much fun to shout, and I dare anyone to actually take offense at that one.
