30 Inspiring "Hamilton" Insults You Should Start Using In Real Life
Steve Jurvetson

I know it has been over two years since Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote Hamilton, but it is still one of the best musicals ever composed. Not only does it have heartfelt moments and inspiring lyrics, it also contains insults that would make Shakespeare proud. Add some of these to your repertoire of insults for the next time you are feeling a little extra savage.

1. "Farmer Refuted"

Samuel Seabury: This Congress does not speak for me.

Hamilton: My dog speaks more eloquently than thee!


2. "Aaron Burr, Sir"

Burr: Good luck with that, you’re taking a stand. You spit, I'm 'a sit. We'll see where we land.


3. "Schuyler Sisters"

Burr: Excuse me, miss, I know it’s not funny. But your perfume smells like your daddy's got money.

4. "Schuyler Sisters"

Angelica: And when I meet Thomas Jefferson, I'm 'a compel him to include women in the sequel!


5. "You’ll Be Back"

King George: And when push comes to shove, I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!

6. "Right Hand Man"

Washington: Burr?

Burr: Sir?

Washington: Close the door on your way out.


7. "Satisfied"

Angelica: Handsome, boy, does he know it! Peach fuzz, and he can't even grow it!

8. "Story of Tonight" (Reprise)

Mulligan/Lafayette: If Alexander can get married--

Laurens: There’s hope for our ass, after all!

Lafayette: Raise a glass to freedom!

Laurens/Mulligan (to Hamilton): Something you will never see again!


9. "Stay Alive"

Hamilton: And every day, “Sir, entrust me with a command.” And every day

Washington: No.

Hamilton: He dismisses me out of hand.

10. "Meet Me Inside"

Hamilton: You’re absolutely right, John should have shot him in the mouth. That would've shut him up.


11. "What Comes Next"

King George: All alone, across the sea. When your people say they hate you, don't come crawling back to me.


12. "Non-Stop"

Burr: Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room? Soon that attitude may be your doom!

13. "Non-Stop"

Hamilton: For once in your life, take a stand with pride! I don’t understand how you stand to the side.


14. "Cabinet Battle #1"

Hamilton: Damn, you're in worse shape than the national debt is in.

14. "Take A Break"

Philip: You can write rhymes, but you can't write mine!

15. "The Room Where It Happens"

Hamilton/Jefferson/Madison/Washington: If you stand for nothing Burr, then what do you fall for?


16. "Schuyler Defeated"

Burr: They don’t need to know me. They don't like you.


17. "Cabinet Battle #2"

Jefferson: He knows nothing of loyalty. Smells like new money, dresses like fake royalty.

18. "Cabinet Battle #2"

Jefferson: Yeah. Well, someone oughta remind you.

Hamilton: What?

Jefferson: You're nothing without Washington behind you.


19. "Washington On Your Side"

Jefferson: I get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passion. The way he primps and preens and dresses like the pits of fashion.

20. "I Know Him"

King George: That’s that little guy who spoke to me all those years ago. What was it, eighty-five? That poor man, they're gonna eat him alive!

21. "Adams Administration" (Cut-version)

Hamilton: An open letter to the fat, arrogant, anti-charismatic, national embarrassment know as President John Adams.


22. "Adams Administration" (Cut-version)

Hamilton: Give my regards to Abigail next time you write about my lack of moral compass. At least I do my job in this rumpus.


23. "Adams Administration" (Cut-version)

Hamilton: You’re a nuisance with no sense. You'll die of irrelevance.

24. "We Know"

Madison: You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position.

Jefferson: Though 'virtue' is not a word I'd apply to this situation--


25. "The Reynolds Pamphlet"

Hamilton: Angelica, thank God. Someone who understands what I’m struggling here to do.

Angelica: I'm not here for you.


26. "Burn"

Eliza: In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives.

27. "Burn"

Eliza: You forfeit all rights to my heart. You forfeit the place in our bed. You sleep in your office instead, with only the memories of when you were mine. I hope that you burn.


28. "Blow Us All Away"

George Eacker: I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true. Yours father's a scoundrel, and so , it seems, are you.


29. "The Election of 1800"

Hamilton: But when all is said and all is done. Jefferson has beliefs. Burr has none.

30. "Your Obedient Servant"

Burr: How does Hamilton, an arrogant, immigrant, orphan, bastard, whore-son, somehow endorse Thomas Jefferson, his enemy. A man he's despised sine the beginning. Just to keep me from winning?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
