has anyone ever heard of an Italian curse that, literally translated, means "may you burst" or "explode" or something like that? I don't know if it's vulgar or swearing, so I am hesitant to ask this question, or even roughly approximate what I think it is in Italian. I apologize in advance if it is naughty, and I will not ask again.
Thanks.

When you say ...in Italian... do you mean a specific region dialect?

Here you would say Che te scoppiasse...
In Umbria...scoppiete...
In Napoli, schiatta!

etc etc

In Milanese "Sciopa!".

This is fun!
I have been thinking about this for the last two days... it sounded absolutely familiar and logical, but I kept thinking about it in Italian... "scoppia" and it didn't sound right at all!!! Thank you Alice for the Milanese version that solves my confusion!!!!
