bestemmiare

Italian meditative practice consisting in channeling out one's anger through the shouting of colourful interjections associating the name of God and his relatives with the most creative nouns (porco dio and dio cane are good, time-tested examples). This interjections are called bestemmia.

The art was first mastered by the italian journalist Germano Mosconi.

Nowadays in Italy the practice is so common that any bestemmia can be even used as an exlamation of surprise, fear, disappointment, etcetera, varying the tone of the voice accordingly.
Examples of bestemmiare:

Ma cos'è sto telefono porco dio!
(This phone is getting on my nerves!)

Ho pagato e nun me fanno entrà! Porcaddio porco!
(I paid and they won't let me in! Goddammit!)

Dio cane che culo c'ha quella!
(That chick's got a nice booty!)

A blasphemy, a sentence which heavily insults God, the Virgin Mary, Jesus or whatever divinity you can think about. In spite of what peole may think, a "bestemmia" is almost never meant to be really offensive against God, it's just an interjection.
The motherland of "bestemmie" is the Italian region of Veneto, located in the north-east of the peninsula.
In Veneto is common hearing "bestemmie" also in every sentence said, especially from old people or farmers.
A "bestemmia" could sometimes be badly read from strict Christian people, so it's not advisable to pronunciate a "bestemmia" in front of random people
Porco dio, sto posto ze pien de singani!
"Goddamnit, i have never seen so many gypsies is a single place!"

Dove dio can go messo i ociài?
"Where the fuck did i put my glasses?"

Puttana la madonna varda chea figa che culo che a ga!
"For God's sake, look at that pretty girl and his gorgeous ass!"

Dio cancaro ghea moìto de bestemàre?
"Can you please stop inserting a bestemmia in every sentence?"
