I just picture it in my mother’s talk about how ladies should keep their legs closed … like “Now, Seven, you’re getting to that age when older men start taking an interest in you, and you don’t want to come down with a case of Slagboom, what would the neighbours think?!”
reading “u kunt” on dutch signs always cracks me up
And how the Dutch often say “Sorry hoor“
The Dutch pronounce “hoor” almost like removed
the dutch for ‘renting’ is the same as german for ‘removed’ so when skishops translate it for tourists it always gets a laugh.
My favourite Dutch word is Slagboom
why do you like it so much?
