Many (most?) of us also have trouble coming up with a good challenge,
especially on the spur of the moment repeatedly. Perhaps this file in
the Florilegium might be of use:
Chalngs-Boasts-art(60K) 12/ 3/00 "Challenges and Boasts: A
Compendium and
Guide" by Michael and Elizabeth
Labbe-Webb.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/COMBAT/Chalngs-Boasts-art.html
Or perhaps this one:
p-swears-msg (48K) 9/ 1/99 Period swears, oaths and insults.
euphemisms.

And while I am thinking about it, Guy mentioned fighting with a spear
and against a spear.
Does anyone have any good articles on how to fight with a spear or
against one? I'd love to have such an article for the Florilegium,
either one previously written or a new one. My standard policy is that
the copyright stays with the author and I take updates at any time. I
just want to get good into out to those who can use it.
