  • 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.






  • It’s literal translation would be something like “discard opportunities”. So why add the opportunities (mogelijkheden) part? Because you can’t simply add a “s” to the end of most verbs in Dutch. “Weggoois”, is not a correct Dutch translation for discard. So you get translations like “weggooimogelijkheden”, which look rediculous, even tho correct.
