The Curse of the Bambino was a superstition cited as a reason for the failure of the Boston Red Sox baseball team to win the World Series in the 86-year period from 1918 to 2004. While some fans took the curse seriously, most used the expression in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
The curse was said to have begun after the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth, sometimes called The Bambino, to the New York Yankees in the off-season of 1919-1920. Before that point, the Red Sox had been one of the most successful professional baseball franchises, winning the first World Series and amassing five World Series titles. After the sale they went without a title for decades, as the previously lackluster Yankees became one of the most successful franchises in North American professional sports.

The "Curse of the Bambino" is an excuse that the Red Sox use because they don't wanna admit they just suck

The tendency in Manhwa/Manga/Manhua for non-human characters to turn into lolis upon reaching a power-up. It is often used when a character experiences an evolution, but their new form has not been shown yet.
"Thank god she didn't turn into a loli"

I hate that things keep evolving into lolis. I blame mikey's curse.

When the will-they-won't-they couple on a TV show finally gets together... and it ruins the show. (Derived from the 1980's TV show Moonlighting, whose ratings declined to the point of cancellation after the main characters finally resolved their sexual tension)
"I really wish they'd just get together already!"
"As much as I want that to happen, I'd hate for the show to be ruined by the Moonlighting Curse."
"I guess you're right. The show won't be as much fun once the sexual tension is gone."

When you are self asphyxiating using a rope tied to an anal hook. After you reach climax, you pass out you are stuck in an arched form when your mom walks in on you.
I don't really open up sexually until the third or fourth date, its not like I'm trying to pull out The Hangman's Curse or anything.
