mannaggia alla sacra sindone

Another, less common, form Italians use to imprecate in moments of crisis. It is one of the most powerful insult to deity in the story of humanity. Actually, it is almost not used, because it's too long, and you wouldn't say that instictively: porco dio o mannaggia alla madonna are more practical. But, using it in a proper manner, given the fact that you actually HAVE to think of saying it, can make you (yes, even you, and me, who navigate this side, a really cool aura. Also, Sir Paolo Chiavator, the creator of Harry Fotter (this is the original, Rowling stole the idea from poor Paolo) would be proud of you.
Hermione: "Harry, now is up to you."
Ron: "C'mon Harry you can do this"
Harry: "I ALREADY SAID I WONT GO IN THE UMBRIDGE'S OFFICE TO BE PEGGED, MANNAGGIA ALLA SACRA SINDONE!"

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
