The quote that brought you here came from a book I wrote a while ago called Spock’s World, which was the first hardcover Star Trek novel. If I remember correctly (it was a good while ago…), Spock’s future mother uses this particularly evocative Irish curse in front of his future father.
More than this, deponent saith not. 🙂
*The book is recently back in print as part of a “twofer” volume — Ann Crispin’s Sarek being the other half of it — entitled Sand and Stars.
