    My mom’s husband knows he f*cked up big time when she starts cursing in Spanish instead of English.

    In Dutch we curse and insult with diseases. For example “kankerzooi” = “cancerous mess” and “tyfuslijer” = “typhoid sufferer”. That first one is a bit frowned upon, but using “kanker” is becoming more common. There’s an established word “kankeren” which means “to grumble”, though.

    Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that this meme works very well for Dutch

    Some more examples:

    • Teringlijer = tuberculosis sufferer
    • Pestpokken = something with the plague and pox
    • Krijg de kolere = get cholera
    • Zich de tyfus werken = literally “to work so hard you get typhoid” (wtf), but really just “to work very hard”

    Funny one also is “kut” which means “vagina” and is used in the same way as cursing with “shit”. Also, something like “kanker” (cancer) can be used in a positive way to emphasize something, like “kankerlekker” meaning “extremely good tasting” (although still frowned upon by most people)

    Actually, just read the Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_profanity

          If people would like a translation:

          • Godverdeklere

          A bastardisation which pulls “klere”/“kolere” - cholera - into “godverdomme” - god damn me. Definitely profane

          • spreek Nederlands

          Literally: speak Dutch. Not profane, though if someone does say it to you unprovoked, they’re probably racist.

          • jij kankermongool

          you cancer-mongol. Mongol in Dutch mostly is an insult to people who have Down Syndrome, not people from Mongolia. Definitely profane.

    Except french. Even cursing sounds romantic in french.

    Don’t recommend cursing in german. You always sound like you want to set your opponent on fire.
