Flyting

The earliest rap battles, invented by Scotsmen

Ritual, poetic exchange of insults practised mainly between the 5th and 16th centuries. The root is the Old English word flītan meaning quarrel.

Also known as fliting

Like ane boisteous bull, ye rin and ryde
Royatouslie, lyke ane rude rubatour
Ay fukkand lyke ane furious fornicatour

-Sir David Lyndsay, (The Answer Which Sir David Lyndsay made to the King's Flyting), 1536.

Flyting

A rap battle for the higher-minded beings

Example of flyting:
Maggoty mutton, gorged glutton, scurrilous certain heir to Hillhouse,
Rank beggar, oyster-dredger, dismal debtor on the lawn,
Lily-livered, soul-shivered, cheap as slivers in the millhouse,
Bard baiter, thief of nature, false traitor, devil's spawn.
