Better not swear;).
From Frank Mittelbach's paper (see
http://latex-community.org/know-how/latex/55-latex-general/475-e-tex#line-breaking):
"Issue: Managing consecutive hyphens in a general way
In TeX it is possible to discourage two consecutive hyphens, but there
is no way to prohibit or strongly discourage three or more.
Technically, this would mean a slight extension of the current
algorithm by keeping track of the number of hyphens in a row. None of
today's engines supports that concept."
