A Punnet Insult Generator
The basic idea of a Punnett square is simply a way to illustrate all possible ways that 2 lists of things can be combined. The table below is sort of a large, non-genetic Punnett square showing how adjectives and nouns can be combined to create insults for fun and profit. Along the top we'll list 7 possible adjectives, and along the side we'll list 7 possible nouns. Put your cursor over the boxes to see the insults appear.
Now click go to choose your insult:
