It's in English. Plain and proper. You want in French, maybe ?

The closest translation would be porte-malheur , poisseux.

Eh, it's fine, at least I am not Russian. I mean, this information you told me about Telegram won't really stop me from using it.

One alternative of jinxed is bewitched. The verb "to jinx" means to bring bad luck to someone or place a jinx on someone.

I've noticed that people in my age group (teens) always ask about zodiac signs. Like why is that so important to you lmao

This would be more like cursed then.

That crap was always popular in under-developed countries and now brought to America.

Yep! Same as damned. But bewitched is the result of what a witch imposes on you. And that is not necessarily negative.

The 1st one is regarding purely to BM spells.

The 2nd one is like cursing (I mean, language, like "damn" you, etc).

Where one not actually puts a spell.

Not necessarily! Definition on thesaurus.com: cursed - adj. damned, doomed for bad ending. But unfortunately, we are non-native speakers, of course.

Like I already wrote many times, you feel English better than me, of course !

As an example though, I don't think the OP would say something like "I had been damned or doomed."

Doomed is more like it would mean the end for him. Like the total end. Hence "bad ending" in the dictionary.

He would say more like "I had been cursed or jinxed."

When one is jinxed or cursed it can be removed. In theory, of course.
