a pox on
Damn you to
A pox on is an old-fashioned curse wishing disease or misfortune upon someone or something: A pox on both your houses!
The phrase sounds theatrical and archaic, now used mostly for humorous or exaggerated effect when expressing frustration or contempt: A pox on whoever designed this interface.
