You Mewling Quim!


[found at The Meta Picture]

Although "you mewling quim" sounds like a Shakespearean insult, it's actually not. Shakespeare used the word "mewling" at one point in his plays, but the word "quim" does not date from his time. It's a more recent word, most popularly used in Victorian times as a slang term for vulva.

So Loki's insult to Black Widow -- "you mewling quim" -- essentially means "you whiny cunt." Nice talk, Loki. You kiss your mother with that mouth?
