Pirate Insult Generator

Description
The Pirate Insult Generator assembles full piratey sounding insults by randomly selecting threats, insults, adjectives, nouns, and exclamations from a variety of lists. The end result is usually a long-winded insult you might yell at a pirate in the heat of battle or during a duel. If you don't have much occasion to battle pirates, you could just try them out on friends, coworkers, and random strangers. Hopefully, they will be less likely to run you through with a sword.
For example, here are some pirate insults you can get from the generator:
"We'll rip an' burn yer Jolly Roger, ye salty, pox-faced kraken ... Strike yer colors!"
"Ye don' need a sword. Yer face be deadlier, ye sorry, scurvy-infested, bilge-drinkin' swab ... Walk the gangplank!"
"Me parrot be smarter than ye, ye barnacle-covered, sorry, foul-smellin' sea snake ... Blast ye!"
"Ye fight like a lass, ye sorry, black-spotted, nattering wretch ... Surrender!"
"Ye smell like ye been swimmin' in the bilge, ye salty, scrappy sea bass ... Blimey!"
There are nigh on eight million unique combinations of insults. Granted, some of those eight million look pretty close to some others of the eight million, but that still leaves plenty of room for variation. You could vituperate non-stop on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, September 19th, without repeating yourself. (vituperate means insult, in case you were wondering)
There are three tabs to the Pirate Insult Generator.
* Insult - Generate insults! Press the button for a new insult. The "Share Insult" button is only available in the forthcoming Pirate Utility app.
* Suggest - Make suggestions for new insults or features from within the app.
* Settings - Tailor how insults are generated.
Paid Version:
The Pirate Utility combines the Pirate Insult Generator and the Pirate Translator with the added abilities of sending insults and translations directly to the Mail app and of copying insults and translations for pasting into other apps. Look for it on the App Store.
Future Features:
* Screen rotation - I have it working in the development version, but not consistently yet.
* Post insults to Twitter

By using this app, you hold Pirate Monkeyness and Tim Moses harmless for any damage to your iPhone, yourself, or your personal property from misuse of insults generated by the Pirate Insult Generator.

A couple of the insults were inspired by Monty Python and by The Secret of Monkey Island (and what a brilliant use of insults that is). Also, thanks to Will Mason, Bill, and Lindsay for their insult suggestions. Thanks to Travis and Billy for encouragement and suggestions. Thank you beta testers!

One suggestion...
Please add the ability to copy text to the clipboard. That's all. This is a funny app and some of the longer insults are hard to remember. So, please add copy to this and that's it.
AHOY!!! INSULTS ON THE HORIZON
This app + a night of drinking = tons of laughing :)
