    In Italian we have a category of curse words called “bestemmie” which they are actually illegal to say because they’re an insult to God or the religion in general.

    Some of my favourite ones are “Dio cane” (god is a dog), “Dio merda” (god is a shit), “Dio boia” (god is an executioner).

        Yeah, tell me about it! It used to be in the penal code, so it was actually a crime.

        Now they depenalized so you only get a fine, but still. Italy should be a secular country, and yet…
