hehe it is fun isn’t it? :slight_smile:

My fave is "Go salaí cúnna ifrinn do dhiosca crua. " :smiley:

[translation] “May the Hounds of Hell soil your hard disk.” :laughing:


How about: “Go n-aora scata Fomhórach ólta thú.” (May a pack of drunken Fomorians satirize you.)

or

“Go scriosa maorlathaí míthrócaireach do dhea-chlú.” (May a pitiless bureaucrat destroy your good reputation.)

:laughing: :astonished: :laughing: :astonished: :laughing: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

English: May an infectious disease soil your manly part.

Irish: Go salaí galar tógálach do bhall fearga.

Cyfiawnder <–/ look two types of Gaelic!!

Go bpléasca na gráinneoga cealgrúnacha do chuid calóga arbhair.

May the malevolent hedgehogs blow up your cornflakes.

Now this is interesting and fun!

Irish: Go n-ithe an Cat Mara do thóin bheagmhaitheasach.

English: May the Sea Cat eat your worthless butt.

Aw they left too many words out. I find my cursing extremely limited and weak in Irish.

I would like to learn some good curses to call on in times of need. American ones are very brusque and not really imaginative. They have a book of curses in Ireland called…um…I forget. The sister book is ‘500 Beannacht’ which is 500 blessings. But the book didn’t include anything on pronunciation. This is really a topic that need to be taught by a native.

I mean, they didn’t even include the F word, a word now considered wholesome, patriotic, and part of the vice president’s unrepentant vocabulary. Chiff and Fing Fipple Fing salutes you, Vice Fing President Dick Fing Cheney! USA! USA! Er…I mean US Fing A!
US F
*ing A!
