Maybe they are saying "blasphemy" which is an obscenity or curse.

A blasphemer is someone who says a word that someone with religious beliefs considers to be wrong.
Classically, to blaspheme, is to'' take Gods name in vain''. This basically means, to miss use the word, because talking about God (to lots of people) is special, and should be respected and not used in everyday trash conversation or especially during curses.
E.g, we might say 'Oh God'! (or specifically if you're a Christian)....then 'Jesus'! when we hear something that surprises us our excites us. If out of context, this is blasphemous to someone who believes in blasphemy!
(Religious people only).
If not, then it means nothing and you can say it as many times as you wish with no fear or guilt you're doing anything wrong.
All religion is based on fear. Fear of consequence of breaking religious rules.
Committing blasphemy is one of those rules.

A blasphemer is somebody who insults God by speaking irreverently.
Blasphemy is regarded as a sin in most religions, but especially with Jews, Muslims and Christians.

It sounds very much like a medical term as a fractured femur bone in the upper leg.

The word is blasphemer.
It means someone who makes light of religion, makes fun of it, or misuses it, such as using sacred words as swearwords.
