I'm fairly certain most cultures have common use of incestual insults.

The english "mother fucker" is born of the original taboo of fucking one's mother. The act is seen as bad, so we use the phrase referencing the act as a label for all sorts of bad things. Like, you dropped a book on your foot, and that's as bad as someone who sleeps with their mum, so you say "mother fucker".

Spanish has tu chinga tu madre or just chinga tu madre.

Not sure off the top of my head, but I know there's lots of other cultures that use the same taboo in the same kind of substitional way.
