Cultural Context
Extremely common in Spain ('me cago en Dios', 'me cago en la hostia', 'me cago en tu puta madre'). The longer and more elaborate, the more colorful. 'Me cago en diez' (I shit on ten) is a minced oath for 'me cago en Dios'. In Latin America, similar constructions exist but 'chingar' is more common in Mexico. The phrase expresses total disregard for the sanctity of the object mentioned. Adding 'tus muertos' (your dead relatives) increases severity.
