    Does anyone here have entertaining curses that they would like to share?

    eg: When I was in the army, I ended up at Fort Ritchie in the operations company. We had a company clerk: Roberto Ramirez who was a brilliant wordsmith.
    He came up with many entertaining curses including this curse(which I treasure)
    " May the bleeding piles torment you
    and corns grow on your feet
    and crabs as big as roaches
    hang on your balls and eat
    and when all the world forsakes you
    and you're a total wreck
    may your head fall through your asshole
    and break your fucking neck"

    go Ram

    .................................
    anyone else?

    When I first read:
    "May you live in interesting times"
    I had thought it an Irish blessing.
    Much later. I read that it was a curse associated with the "warring states" period.
    Considering the philosophies that came out of that period
    I remain confused.

    Well there's always: "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries".

    And: "You'll smoke a turd in Hell for this!" (from a very funny Canadian film I once saw in Dubai, in the 1980s)

    Oh and there was an expletive phrase in a humorous French gangster movie, in which at one point, when everything is going wrong, a character exclaims:"Je tourne en merde, je tourne en merde, je tourne en MERDE!!"

    May your cup of tea be too hot when you get it, and too cold when you remember it’s there.

    May the chocolate chips in your cookies be of animal origin.

    May your seat make a farting noise... that you can’t repeat to prove it was the seat.

    May your avocados never ripen, and your bananas turn to mush.

    May all your beer turn to lager!

    From a long-forgotten novel: "May a thousand syphilitic camels spit in your cous-cous."
    A fine period reconstruction from Judy Collins (Anathea)
    and one of my uncles was very good at this. He had a long one involving an archangel in the top of a willow tree whistling up a whirlwind to carry the offending person off in a cloud of dust.
    I'm a lot simpler. I just wish they would grow a big red zit on the tip of their nose, so everyone can see.

    Art and Culture? Shouldn't this be in Free Thoughts? I would participate but the thread is in the wrong forum, which has spoiled the topic for me. Sorry.

    NO
    Read what Ram produced
    Is that not art?
    I submit that this is the best forum for that sort of "curse"
    ........................................
    get over yourself and contribute/participate
    (hopefully something brilliant, and artful
    I do not come here to suffer mediocracy.)

    Would it be better in the form of a haiku :

    Wherever you hide,
    my curses will follow you
    and bring you to grief.

    or maybe a limerick?

    'Tis a rare gift indeed.
    what is in our plebe preview is simple appreciation.
    and
    maybe a memory or 2

    No, I can't go further while this thread is in Art & Culture. You ruined it for me.

    The thread belongs in Free Thoughts. Though curses can be creative, I've never seen them classified as an "Art Form."

    Nonetheless, the Sun is out and my mood is on a positive high, so I don't believe I can rally one, but for you I will try...

    ...
    ...
    ...

    Nope, It just isn't in me this morning.

    I'm gonna throw a blessing instead...
    May you receive..hmm... May you have... May your toiletry be well stocked with butt wipe during the corona crisis, and that your neighbors are never the wiser.
    Best wishes, Sculptor.

    Orthodox Jewish historian and scholar Yair Davidiy associates Ireland with the Tribe of Dan......
    at least a few Danites may well have made it to China......
    because some of them or their cousins went even further to Japan... .apparently.......

    So your theory could have some validity......
