Dutch words in general are insane. My favorite is Schildpad=turtle. Which literally means "shield Toad"

[–] [email protected] 52 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Exact same usage in German: Schildkröte.

But its not like the English language doesn't do the exact same thing.

Most languages: Ananas

English: pineapple

Same in Swedish, "sköldpadda". Literally shield toad.

Tho, I would say, even tho its piney, a pineapple is nothing like an apple.

I still find it weird that the word daddy, you know, the word you lovingly use as a child for your father also has a very sexual other use.

I dont know what you guys do or did with your dad when you where little but this is just beyond crazy.

Or does the entire US population has oudipus complex?

Too many people had absent fathers probably

Tbf, there's nothing serious about the sentence "spank me daddy".

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

Fair enough.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

Uhh depends on the context

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Had to go to translator and confirm this one.

Damn. Wow.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Tbf, I think it's translated to "give me a clap papa". But I'm basing that on interpolation as a swede

Actually the proper term is 'billenkoek'

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

You're thinking of Bill and Richard, the time-traveling rockers. Wait, that's Bill and Ted... What's Bill and cock?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Bill & Cook would be a better way to pronounce it.
