Is that phrase used commonly? And would it normally be used in private, or is it more socially acceptable to say these things?
Where I live, wishing anything bad happens to your neighbour or even a stranger would be plainly understood to be unkind, unreasonable, and generally mean to some degree (depending on the severity of what you wished on the person).
- grujicd 3y agoIt's not something that you say for yourself, it's something others might say about you if they notice your counter-neighbour behaviour. Edit: my translation "I wish that neighbour's cow drop dead" was not accurate since it shouldn't be in the first person. It's more like "let the neighbour's cow drop dead".
