I would be upset, too, if I were called an "ilk"--especially twice in a row. What does it mean, anyway? Ordinarily I go and look something like that up. I suddenly realized that I did not really know what "dolt" means either. I do know that such words are useful to poets because they rhyme with things. I mean, there are not that many things to rhyme with "milk," for example. Now "dolt" was very useful to William Yeats. Quoting from memory from the poem, "The Fascination of What's Difficult," I get: My curse on plays That have to be set up in fifty ways, On the day's war with every knave and dolt. I swear before the dawn comes round again I'll find the stable and pull out the bolt. I think that "ilk" can be good, but "dolt" seems less promising. Actually "scum" is not necessarily all bad. If you are making raspberry jam, the scum is the best part.
