Chaim's curse
« on: June 21, 2017, 04:20:02 PM »
Can Chaim post the curse he puts on people here?  I always mispronounce it when I curse someone.

It's the strongest Hebrew curse.

Yimach shemo vizichro (masculine), yimach shema vizichra (feminine) or yimach shemam vizichram (plural).

Literal meaning: "may his name and memory be obliterated", "may her name and memory be obliterated" or "may their names and memories be obliterated."

Obviously, Chaim got the curse from Judaism.

Also yimach shmo vezichro shem reshaim yirkav (may his name and memory be obliterated, may the name of the wicked rot)
"In the final analysis, for the believer there are no questions, and for the non-believer there are no answers." -Chofetz Chaim

I would strongly recommend you do not use that one, it's very extreme and reserved for the worst of the worst with really nothing good to them.
