Churchill is well known for his inspirational quotes but he could also be the master of the barbed insult, not always clever but could sometimes be amusing. His relationship with alcohol is well known.

It was said that while Churchill was leaving the House of Commons sometime in 1946, MP Bessie Braddock hit him with an insult saying “Winston, you are drunk, and what’s more you are disgustingly drunk.”

Churchill fired back at her with an insult, too, saying “Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what’s more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.”
