Curse da God

Heard in Wexford

To put a hex on something. Normally not meant in earnest but as an expression to convey a Wexford person's annoyance at something, especially in the Bunclody area. In some areas they say "curses o' god" instead.

Ye et me last strawberry? Ah das quare ill lad! A curse da God on yiz anyways! I'm gonna burn yer house to the axle!

Posh English

You consumed my final strawberry, how thoroughly disagreeable of you. A plague upon you all in any case, for I shall set fire to your domicile.
