I found another "poxleber"

[Rafal]

I only read the information from the forum. I don’t use AI in this regard.
Here’s a quote from Koen G’s post:

1550 ca., Nürnberg. Several attestations in carnival plays by Hans Sachs. Found in the Fastnachtspiel (carnival play) Der Bauer im Fegefeuer (1552). Expressions:
- "schendt sie pox leber und lung!" May God's liver and lung harm her!

Okay, sorry. I wasn't really sure how you turned "pox" into "God". Now it's clear, it's Koen who did it.

Well, I think it is wrong approach. "Pox" is a goat and nothing more. It may replace "God" but you shouldn't translate it as a "God". Just like you shouldn't translate English "gosh" as "God".

Or in Polish we have an exclamation "Rany koguta!" - wounds of a rooster. It obviously is a replacement of "wounds of Christ". But you should never translate "kogut" as Christ, it means a rooster and nothing more.

Or is"pox" really a form of "Gott"? Can you find it in any sentences without "leber" like "Pox ist groß und Jesus ist sein Sohn"?
