The Fantastical Repertoire of Captain Haddock

word feed | comment feed | cloud | sort:  alpha / order added
The popular Belgian cartoon Tintin contains a memorable character in the form of Captain Haddock. He has a remarkable repertory of insults, which render just as well in the English translation. This list is far from complete, but hopefully captures some of the more interesting ones.

It's funny that vegetarian is on this list. raggle taggle ruminant is pretty darn good :-) It's a shame you don't have any of the blue blistering (barnacle)... variants, which were many. My pick would be blue blistering bell-bottomed balderdash!

Aye, that was my source for a good number of them...I decided 100 was enough for a good flavouring...

Ha! Beautiful list!
You can find more of them here.
