We're also one of the rare languages that swears not only with sexual organs, excrement and bodily fluids, but also like to throw diseases into the mix. Actually surprised me when I learned this is uncommon in most other languages, it seems so natural :-)
In particular "older" diseases that are less common in modern days, like tuberculosis (tering-), cholera (klere/kolere), typhoid (tyfus), plague (pest-) and pox (pokke-) are popular as general insults, adjective or interjection.
"Cancer" (kanker) is also used a lot, but is considered almost universally to be in bad taste, because nearly everybody knows or has lost someone they know to cancer, whether it's highschool kids or in "polite company".
More modern diseases (Ebola/H5N1/Swineflu/SARS/etc) are being used as well, but mainly for comedic effect.
