I know but there's no cool nickname for syphilis sadly.

The Pox, The Great Imitator, or Bad Blood not cool names anymore?

Bad blood has some seriously fucked up connotations that I wouldn't use it personally.

The French disease, the Italian disease, the Spanish disease… Wherever your country thinks people are a bit too loose and foreign you can blame syphilis on them.
