lo'fasz a seggedbe! (phrase) ‡ horse's prick into your ass! note This is one of the most popular Hungarian curses, considered rather strong. It has a very interesting history.

As well known, Hungary was under Turkish occupation for 150 years (from 1526 to 1686).Well, the most frequent Turkish torturing/execution method was impaling. The Turkish word for "stake" was "lopat", a word, alas, too well known for contemporary Hungarians, but not known nowadays. Thus some 400 years ago, a Hungarian, wishing something very bad to his neighbor, said; "lopat a seggedbe" (i.e. a stake in your ass).
