Dutchman's Curse

The Dutchman's Curse is any sentence that starts with "It's just a matter of...", "It should be working...", or something similar, implying that it will take no time to complete at all, but in reality always turns into being a lot more work.

Supervisor - It's just a matter of copying that line of code into this file.

-- 5 hours later --
Employee - I'm still working on it since I had to rewrite the file to get that line of code to work. Stupid Dutchman's Curse.

Western Pennsylvania Curse

The unfortuante series of events when a really attractive girl is spending time with/ hooking up with a really unattractive guy. This situation is very easily seen in western pennsylvania, thus the name. Statisticians indicate that 64% of girls between the ages of 18-24 suffer from the curse. There is no known cause for the curse, only that doctors and psychologists point to major brain damage suffered at birth, probably caused by fetal alcohol syndrome.

I know man, its that western pennsylvania curse.

Cursed rip off life

This is when you are poor because you live in a city like Detroit Michigan the United States of America in present time where you can’t come up and get rich legitimately no matter what you do. Well if you was anywhere else like New York or California you would make it big and be the riches and most famous person ever. Maybe even president of the United States or King or be in the best movies or songs ever. And no way to move out or leave this city which was once promising back in the day in the 80s or so.

This cursed rip off life will be the end of me. Why I wasn’t born in Hollywood ? My dream of Japan. Where I shine like the brightest star
