History

During Homer's third unsuccessful attempt to hang wallpaper in Maggie's room, he started cursing up a storm when the sheets of wallpaper he was trying to put up fell right back down on him. As his tirade became more and more profanity-laden, Bart told Homer he was running out of curse words. He then told Homer to switch to Chinese, and handed him Great Big Book of Chinese Swearing.

Bart's reaction to Homer's wallpaper-hanging attempt.

Homer looked in the book and switched to swearing in Chinese as he went berserk and started nailing the wallpaper to the wall. Soon after that, Homer collapsed in exhaustion. Bart looked around the room at the sight of wallpaper and glue smeared everywhere and said "Holy-" followed by a curse word in Chinese.
