Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index In Norse and Germanic cultures, flyting is a contest of insults, either as a prelude to battle or as a form of combat in its own right. The exchange is regular, if not ritualized, and the insults usually center on accusations of cowardice or sexual impropriety or perversion. In Norse Mythology, several poems contain or contain only flyting. This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
