Kankerlijer. You can replace cancer with any of a number of other nasty diseases.
It’s also customary to tell someone “get cancer!” (krijg de kanker), “get tuberculosis!” (krijg de pleuris) or “get leprosy!” (krijg het lazarus). All map to English-language sentiments such as “eat shit and die” or “fuck off.”
You can also just use “cancer” as a prefix to anything that happens to piss you off: cancer-influencers, cancer-sandwich, whatever. And the same goes for other diseases.
I personally prefer “klootzak,” which means ball bag. The word rolls off the tongue so nicely. But then, everything said in Dutch sounds aggressively pejorative, even sweet talk.
