Hello all,
I agree with Tamara about the first part of the saying and think that the
second must be "ruddy son of a bitch!" I've never known how 'ruddy' is an
insult. I don't use any of these myself (in general, don't swear at all)
but have heard them all at one time or another.

An elderly man told of how his grandfather, a staunch Presbyterian who

bucket of pitch!!!!"
Never heard this particular "curse" but, based on what I know -- in
general -- about curses, euphemisms, etc, I'd stake my linguistic
reputation <g> on the first part (cheese & rice) being a substitute for
"Jesus Christ".
