Was talking..

Was talking at a dinner a while ago, and I was trying to come up with curses.

Now, we're not talking your NORMAL curses..this is more along the line of (and these were the first two I was able to come up with)

The old standard "May you live in interesting times"

My favored one "May you get all that you deserve"

You know, words, sentences, or phrases that when you first hear them, they don't sound like an insult of sorts..a way to tell someone to fuck off, in a sense. :-)

Indyellen passed along "This too shall pass", As a way of saying that yes, that phrase is normally said in a "the bad times will leave", but can also be turned around to mean good times, as well.

So, anything you have that you think fits the bill?

Bless you.

Good one that I wouldn't have thought of.

Believe it or not, "I wish you well."

It took me some time of thinking about it when I first heard the concept of such a statement being a curse.

When someone cuts me off in traffic and speeds off, I say, "I hope you get to where you're going."

Part of me wants to really say something nasty, but I've had enough bad car-ma without perpetuating it. I may not be genuinely bestowing warm fuzzy thoughts on them, but I'm at least expressing my irritation at their stupidity. (;
