[Cz-L] Curses

When I stated that we didnt curse in German I mean real cursing:
 "Den Buckel herunterrutschen " is cursing ? it more of a tepid suggestion.
    When the Ukrainean cursed us it was : "Kurva Mama tvoya bila !"
    Hinting to your mother's previous profession.
      To this we had to reply :" Tvoya nahrib,
                                         Zehn meter in Grib,
                                           Mit elektrischen Betrieb".
      This saying in Ukrainen ,Yiddish and German said within ten
      seconds of the original curse would nullify the effect of the curse.
        Not only that , but the curse would revert to the curser.
