Mar 31, 2015 at 8:28 comment added Vilmar @Rilakkuma, yes, there are some occasional curses like this, but it is nothing if we have a look at Dutch curses, for example.

Mar 31, 2015 at 7:20 comment added Rilakkuma @UVV it depends on the region I guess, but I've definitely heard it by Russian speakers, especially those of older generation.
Mar 31, 2015 at 6:57 comment added c.p. Холера I knew from Polish: "cholera!" :·)
Mar 31, 2015 at 6:55 comment added UVV Холера used often? Really?
Mar 31, 2015 at 6:36 comment added Rilakkuma It is. Words like "Холера" and "Кретин" are somewhat often used as curses although they are names for diseases or conditions.
Mar 31, 2015 at 6:33 comment added Vilmar Never in my life have I heard this curse in oral speech. Using diseases as curse words is not that common in modern Russian at all.
