Fuck my luck | Me cago en Dios

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,
