Poetic Cursing

If you are to insult someone, I think longer words or even sentences have a better effect!

My wife and I once lead a high-school age church youth group. We challenged them to come up with more imaginative curses and oaths than the standard four letter word variety.
​
"May a thousand fleas infest your armpits."
​
(*wiggle your fingers rapidly*)
"What's that?"
"It's a hundred of these" (*extend middle fingers of both hands*)

Poetic Cursing - Youth Retreat
Loudmouth writes:
​
Of course, your youth group probably doesn't play money games before or after meetings, so just file this under information you will never use.
​
You're right Loudmouth. Since these kids didn't have much money, they had to resort to strip poker at the youth retreat. So their expletives relating to sexual anatomy were ususally prefaced with "Holy".
