Hello.

There certainly are more than one of those, so you are likely to get
several different answers to your inquiry. A great deal of funny
expressions in any language tend to be more or less obscene or
insulting,
but if you can take it for example Hans Heestermans: Luilebol! Het
Nederlands scheldwoordenboek (Thomas Rap bv, Amsterdam, 1989, ISBN 90
6005
312 5), Cor Hoppembrouwers: Jongerentaal, De tipparade van de
omgangstaal
(Nederlands instituut RUG, Groningen, 1991, ISBN 90 6523 076 9) are very
nice albeit relatively old books. There is a good source of colourful
expressions in the net called Taalkabaal
http://www.taalkabaal.nl/index.html with all kinds of delightful links.

Happy hunting
