Commentators curse

When a commentator of a sport or other competitive event praises a team or player and then that team/player soon after has something bad happen to them (concede points, injury etc.)

Commentator: Team A is looking really good this half, Team B just can't break their defense.
*Team B immediately breaks the line of defense and scores*
Team A fan: God damn it, why did he have to apply the commentators curse?

The Kardashian Curse

Every man that dates a Kardashian, their life goes downhill after that.

The Kardashians turned Scott into an alcoholic, Lamar Odom into a Crackhead and Bruce Jenner into a woman, I can't wait what they do to Kanye. That is the the Kardashian Curse.

Speaking Cursive

The fake, imitation accent people do to sound like indie singers when they sing. Often when people speak cursive the words are slurred, and hard to understand.

I totally sounded like Halsey when I was speaking cursive.
