in the first The effectiveness of cussing in Shakespeare post I identified most common cusses in modern day language but mostly in my school.
although they are not as powerful as Shakespeare’s cusses they are quiet effective and don’t offend people in a horrible way they are just “banter ”

This is a very important point. Frequently there are high levels of sophisticated humour as well as deep linguistic features in banter.
Have a look at your own banter and the insults in Shakespeare and see if you can find any similarities in style, sound, content and topic.
