Curse words can be tough, they are meant to. The spirit of an insult is to relieve the anger the person feels. Being able to pack all that frustration in a short phrase is a talent common to all languages I know.

Mothers, sisters and gods alike are the common targets.

Me cago en Dios is a phrase used when you can’t believe your bad luck:

• ¡Me cago en Dios y mi suerte!

Although the poetical power of this phrase is undeniable, we also like to use other two expressions

• ¡La puta madre!
• ¡La concha de la lora!

And if only one of these is not enough, we go for:

• ¡Me cago en Dios y la concha de mi madre!

Pardon my French,

Until next masterclass,
