Answer 2

An Elizabethan curse word is any curse word that was used during the time of Queen Elizabeth I (Eliz. the first) of England, during Shakespeare's time, around the year 1600. They used some rough language in those days.

Answer 3

The Elizabethan era is the period associated with the reign of Queen Elizabeth (1558-1603) and if they were really mad at you they would use some of the following sayings:
Thou currish onion eyed scut!
Thou venomed Shrill-gorged gull-catcher!
Thou droning shard-borne jack-a-nape!
Thou villainous elf-skinned crutch!
Thou spleeny iron-witted ruffian!
Thou pribbling pox-marked malkin!
Thou gleeking weak-hinged coxcomb!
Thou bootless swag-bellied younker!\
Thou lumpish lily-livered apple-john!
Thou knavish sheep-biting wagtail!
