Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The insult imagines someone so twisted that a corkscrew would suit eating soup. It turns a description of character into an impossible bodily arrangement. The crooked tool supplies the visual joke, exaggerating the person's distortion without specifying exactly what makes them objectionable.
