Yes. I’ve cursed at more than a few Bears players. Heck truth be known I’ve cursed a few forum members!Actually, curse dates back to the 1200s. It was loosely a term for anger, and somehow related to vocal anger. It was about 500 years later that it was turned into the form we see it used today.
Studying the evolution of words and language is boring, so most people don't find it interesting enough to try. I hate to admit it, but at one time, I enjoyed doing that, and did quite a bit of it to insure I was using correct words when I was writing something from a bygone era.
In the 1400s, if someone was mad at someone, they'd say; "Curse them!" Anger.
As an example, if it was 1895, and people were having fun, you would refer to them as having a gay old time. To today's reader, it has a totally different connotation.

But then I came to my senses and now I primarily just do NFC North curses.
