be called every name in the book

be called every name in the book

To have been subjected to many different insulting, degrading, derisive, or slanderous terms. I've been called every name in the book due to my beliefs, but I will always proudly stand by them! The famous popstar was called every name in the book early in her career, so these days, she doesn't care at all what the haters have to say. I know you've been called every name in the book, but it hasn't weakened your resolve in the slightest. I'm impressed.
