Your mother eats beans and onions!

"It hath been observed that if a woman with childe eate quinces much and coriander seed, it will make her child ingenious; and if the mother eate onyons, or beans, or such vaporous food, it endangereth the child to become lunaticke, or of imperfect memory."

So my new favorite insult when I'm arguing with someone irretrievably wrong- "Your mother eats beans and onions!"
