No such word in English, perhaps someone mispelled it.

What was the context of the sentence in which it was used?
 
  • #76
maybe it's supposed to be malediction?

Its probably "malediction." Magical word or phrase uttered with the intention of bringing about evil or a curse.

An hex is a kind of maldition or blame upon someone, isn't it?
Evo,

This is the context...This post is in this thread on the second page.
But indeed, i think the OP meant to say "malediction"


And what's a "hex" ? O yes, it's a malediction...:)

The word "malediction" ought to mean how a word spoken by someone with a very bad accent sounds like.

Sounds more like a venereal disease to me.

Of course, most things sound like a venereal disease to me, so...
