    Cancer dog (kanker hond) is a very bad swear word in the Netherlands.

      Is it a name I’d call someone or something I’d yell when I stub my toe? Or is it more like, “What the cancer dog!?” I can’t say it’s my favorite profanity.

        No it’s a name you call somebody, but only if someone really hurt you or screwed you over.

        When you hurt you toe you might say teering or tyfus (tbc, typhus)
