I thought swearing in my language was rough, until I learnt how they swear in the Netherlands.

They swear with illnesses.
Eg.

Your cancer mother
Or
You sifilis bitch

Apparently the worst thing you can call someone in Dutch is “cancer whore”

Anything with cancer really, it's generally not socially accepted.

Typhus, cholera and tuberculosis are all fine tho! Altho usually said as more of a slang version.

Oh, and wishing diseases upon someone is also a common thing. Altho again, when wishing cancer upon someone there's a very good chance you'll get into a fight.

Imo wishing cancer upon someone or a family member is the worst insult in Dutch.
