As anyone knows, one really good use for a foreign language, (especially one that not many around you can understand), is to let off steam with some really good curses. Here are just a few I’ve happened to overhear on Twitter in the last few weeks.
Gaelic Cliché #1! Póg mo thòn! /poke mo hawn/ – Kiss my ass!
Mo chreach! /mo chrech/ my ruin! my destruction! (from which ‘crikey’ is derived)
Dìth-bhith ort! /G-V orst/ dead easy that one, means “annihilation upon you!” -old school
Thalla ‘s caic! /hallas kachk/ away and s**t!
Ó mo thruaigh! /oh mo hrooiy/ lit. oh my pity “holy crap”
tòn an eich /tawna nyaich/ horse’s ass
Tha usa air a’ chuthach air fad! /ha usa aira chuach air fat/ You’re absolutely nuts!
Keep checking back for more! There’s bound to be a rugby match soon to provide even more curses.
Great Scot! 
Reblogged this on Letters from a Briton and commented:
These could very well come in hand.
Should the second word of the last one: “Tha usa air a’ chuthach air fad!” be “thusa”?
I’ll have to check. I copied what was in the tweet but typos are not out of the question. 😉 Thanks for reading and commenting!
