If I remember correctly, it appears that cursing the holy spirit means claiming that something which has been done by the holy spirit is the work of Satan. I think Jesus was doing a miracle and some pharisees or whoever starting saying it was the work of the devil and he starts saying you can say what you like about me and the father but don't blaspheme the holy spirit (by whom these things were presumably being done, through Jesus) or you're not going to get forgiven.
I wouldn't recommend trying it, though. Just in case...
I think there is another unpardonable sin, which is something like sinning whilst knowing you're doing so, just because you expect God to forgive you afterwards.
