Assignment: Shakespearean Insults
Develop a program that will randomly generate twenty Shakespearean insults using the lists of words in the table below. Each insult will have four words beginning with "Thou" followed by one randomly chosen word from each of the three lists. An example of twenty Shakespearean insults is below. Put as many words as you want from each list below into separate lists in your Python code; you don't have to use every word in each list.
Hints:
1. To generate a random integer you must import the random module and then call the randint function with lower and upper bounds as the arguments for the function.
2. When generating a random number for selecting a word out of your list, don't physically count the number of words in the list; use the length function to calculate the number of words in the list. This way if you add or subtract any words from a list, the adjustment for the random number will be updated automatically by the code.
3. Keep in mind that the upper-bound parameter for the randint function is will return numbers including the upper bound and we don't want that number chosen because list indices start at 0. For example, if your list has 10 words in it, and you use arguments of 0 and 10 for the randint function; if the number 10 was chosen, you would get the following error - IndexError: list index out of range. So you need to use 0 and 9 as randint arguments for 10 random integers.
