Might I introduce you to the good old Dutch tradition of swearing with diseases?
Tuberculosis (“tering!”), typhoid (“tyfus!”), cholera (“klere”), mange (“schurft”), smallpox (“pokken”) are pretty cool and acceptable. Cancer used to be common but that’s rather fallen out of fashion. You can also combine it with religious swearing AND reproductive organs for a trifecta.
“Godverdetyfuskutzooi” is just a beauty, but “goddamtyphoidvaginamess” doesn’t work in English.
using “cancer” as a swearword is considered very bad these days, so we’ve actually started to censor the swearing/insults down to “the c-word” meaning that “You’re a C-whore” is now actually a thing people say.

Perhaps not, but I think “cunt jumble” needs to enter the lexicon.
apparently the rudest thing you can call a Dutch person literally translates as “cancer-whore”
Yeah, pretty much exactly true.
