Ishmael's insults come straight from that fantastic source of random descriptions of all sorts of things: from herbs, spices, and medicinal vegetables, to religious articles and furnishings, to harlots. Yes, they are from the infamous random harlot table, found on page 192 of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide (1st edition), herewith reproduced in all its prostitutional glory:

My mother was never worried about any of those foundless allegations that Dungeons & Dragons led to any sort of satanic behaviour or odd personality disorders, but perhaps it was just as well that she never flipped through the latter pages of the DMG.
