An early rare insult, but not nearly the first. Shakespeare was stringing together rare insults two centuries before Hamilton.

Edit: By pointing out that Shakespeare came well before Hamilton, by no means was meant to imply Shakespeare was the first.

I do think an argument could be made that Shakespeare was the most prolific in crafting the rare insult.

Did Hamilton actually say this? Probably not. But I choose to believe he did anyway.
