 HAHAHHA!
It's just great that you can say in one word what would be a whole sentence in english. |
It is not really one word in writing
than it is "reken maar uit"
When you speak you leave out the space or put the spaces elsewhere "re kenma ruit"
Same as in English where "what is up" is changed into "whassup"

When I heard the late crocodilehunter speak.
It seems to me that Australian language in writing is also very much different from speaking. But maybe that depends on the crocodile.

Something I typed into the PrawnSong forum a while ago...
{after somebody types Lekker lekker lekker!! }
| Quote: |
That could turn into an interesting conversation.
Easy Digestible Dutch Course:
Dutch to English:
lekker - yummy
vloerbedekking - carpet
bier - beer
tabak - tobacco
roken - smoke
koffie - coffee
chocolade - chocolate
pindakaas - peanut butter
stickie - joint
wiet - weed
tieten - boobies
lul - dick
kut - pussy, equivalent of fuck in usage
slim - smart
smart - agony
smaak - flavour/taste
liefde - love (officially Dutch most beautiful word)
goesting - taste (Flemish most beautiful word)
petazzie - Brabant local dish, type of hotpot
fielefaauwen - to annoy (dialect)
Useful phrases:
De automaat heeft mijn pasje ingeslikt - the machine ate my card
Je hebt grote ogen die niet kunnen jokken en lippen als rozen zo rood - you have big eyes that can't tell lies, and lips as red as roses
De antwoorden zijn altijd al aanwezig - The answers have always been present (Steve Vai, Passion and Warfare, 'Answers')
Kan ik je wat te drinken aanbieden? - Can I offer you a drink?
Sayings:
Wie een wijf huwt om het lijf, verliest het lijf en houdt het wijf
(he who marries a woman for the body, will lose the body and keep the wife)
Dat is zo glad als een paling in een emmer snot
(That is as slippery as an eel in a bucket of snut)
Iemand blijmaken met een dooie mus
(make someone happy with a dead sparrow)
|
{after somebody says Godverdomme}
| Quote: |
Aye, GVD is commonly used, but sadly, Anglification of our language has turned SHIT into the most commonly used curse in The Netherlands.
More loaded is geitenneuker (goat fucker). Theo van Gogh used that word in his columns to describe muslim terrorists. It got him killed.
Also common is cursing with diseases, especially in Haguian (The Hague dialect):
tyfus (typhus), kanker (cancer) cholera, tering (phthisis), syfillis, etcetera.
Haguian dialect gives a long list of interesting synonyms for dying:
een tuin op je buik groeien (grow a garden on your belly)
stoppen met roken (quit smoking)
aan de verkeerde kant van het gras liggen (lie on the wrong side of the grass)
een zandfabriek beginnen (start a sand factory)
Less proper:
de maden voeren (feed the maggots)
verhuizen (move (from one house to the other))
|
{after somebody says he's enjoying a "kopstoot" (drink)}
| Quote: |
Kopstoot means something different here (Eindhoven) than in Utrecht: down here, a kopstoot can mean:
-a painful thrust with a head
-the mysterious, childish act of taking a glass of Seven-Up, throwing it over your head, then move your head forward.

in what situation would you say: "make someone happy with a dead sparrow"? it seems that someone has been saying this to our cat Nanook. we are not
happy, Nanook.

CRIKEY! DED reckons that our ocker language comes out of a bloody croc! GEEZ-LOUISE mate! Chroist, if we ever heard a croc talkin we would say to the
cheeky bastard: "Shutcha neck, ya noisy bugger!"
It was really funny (funny as in strange) when Steve Irwin died. Everyone i knew thought he was a complete and utter dickhead and hated him when he
was alive. He was the quintessential "tool". But as soon as he died everyone loved him. I was in a politics tutorial when i found out and the whole
class was laughing about it for half an hour. Then it became really really sad.

It's what Gail does: telling us the release of the Roxy DVD is imminent, then not releasing it.
The phrase was also used when the infamous domino-sparrow that was shot dead after invading the hall where they were setting up millions of domino
stones, was given to a museum. They were genuinely happy with a dead sparrow.

I had the same experience. When he was alive and on air, I hated the guy. His strange accent was funny bit his habit of toughing every animal was at
least boring. Leave them alone.
But when he died, we are informed in a better way about his work and love for the wildlife.

Saw two VCR movies recently.
One was Twister by Dutch Jan de Bont
Film was running for 5 minutes, then I knew what the rest of the story should look like. Boring
The other film was Mission Impossible. I liked the series. This tape will self destruct in five seconds.
The film was a different sort of candy
Maybe when I see the film 4 or 5 times the plot will be clear to me.
Now I'm totally confused. the murdered people are still alive, the living ones dead. The good guys were the bad guys and the bad guys were not so bad
after all.
What a confusing epos.
Immediately I switched into the 3 dvd box BBPgave me, good old Laurel and Hardy.
And that's another fine mess you got me into.

Oh yeah! Kubric and Peter Sellers...it had to be something special. Nicholas Cage isn't exactly someone who can cheer you up is he?

It was a fight to stay awake,can't remember now what the story was.
Dr. Strangelove, only seen the first half, sometimes I woke up because of the laughter from ZAZ and BBP. Maybe I missed something. Well Barry Landon
is at the shop within 2 days.
And today there will be a movie on the telly from the odd parents.

Fairly Odd Parents you mean... I missed it! D'oh!
Did you read that interview with Candy Zappa where she says she would like to see Nicholas Cage starring as FZ in a movie about Franks life? FZ's too
handsome to be played by NC!

Anyways, holidays is over, seen lotsa, lotsa movies... One Dutch movie channel finally showed the LOTR trilogy, last year they only showed Two Towers.
Seen My Fair Lady, La Bamba, Spirited Away...
My Fair Lady is that one unique movie that stops me from feeling embarrassed about liking musicals.
