Register or Login to view."Pox liver! What is this place?" 'Pox liver' used as an exclamation sounds really funny, I like it  . It's weird, but not impossible at all, not weirder than ie. a minced oath in Eastern Lombard which was very common until 20-30 years ago: "kà 'nde l'ùa" ['ka.nde.'lu.a] which literally means 'dog in the grapes' (and which I cannot understand how it possibly came to be).
