That's not even the dutch flag

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

but it is ? right ? colors a bit pale, but... I think it is

[-] Nejo@sh.itjust.works 45 points 2 months ago

The lighter colours means it's the Luxembourg flag.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Yup, unless Wikipedia is lying:

[-] callyral@pawb.social 11 points 2 months ago

That is the flag of the Netherlands. This is the flag of Luxembourg:

Honestly a great comeback for someone who gets called daddy against their will lol

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 82 points 2 months ago

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

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago

Fair enough.

[-] GetOffMyLan@programming.dev 15 points 2 months ago

Uhh depends on the context

[-] Redredme@lemmy.world 45 points 2 months ago

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?

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 28 points 2 months ago

I take it you've never broken both your arms

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

What are you doing, step-Hadriscus?

We are all collectively trolling the prudes

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

"Daddy" somehow made its way out of the DD/lg or DD/lb kink all the way into vanilla sex world, somehow. I have idea how it did that but yeah, it used to be contained within a specific, semi-popular kink

Actually the proper term is 'billenkoek'

[-] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 months ago

Right? They totally missed the actual insane part. And this is a word that Dutch people really use.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 7 points 2 months ago

Which translates to 'buttocks biscuits' literally

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

What's Bill and cock?

They're from the porn parody: Bill And Cock's Excellent Ass Venture

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

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

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago

We all know Dutch isn't real, it's a prank played by the Dutch people on the rest of the world.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

It's so obvious too that it's a fake language because they all speak English.

[-] omgarm@feddit.nl 6 points 2 months ago

We will still give you forms in our made up language. It's hilarious.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

All languages are made up.

[-] callyral@pawb.social 5 points 2 months ago

I prefer to learn languages actually used by nations worldwide, like Klingon or toki pona

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[-] JASN_DE@lemmy.world 52 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[-] dafo@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

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

[-] umbraroze@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Gets even weirder in Finnish, because it's "kilpikonna". Someone in ye olde times just straight up translated the Swedish name. Got none of the Indo-European roots in sight, but it still makes sense. Vaguely toady creature that has shields!

(Only problem are the homonyms. "kilpi" also means registration plate, and "konna" also means "villain, thief". So every time some random person goes around nicking plates off cars, the journalists think they are very clever again, even when the joke has been made before numerous times. Poor turtles! They don't deserve this!)

Dutch is so whimsical. I personally giggle at winkelwagen. Winkel = shop, wagen = cart. Also, love that they say helaas pindakaas, meaning "that's too bad", but if literally translated means "unfortunately, peanut butter."

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

Uh oh, spaghettios

[-] pirat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Pindakaas literally translates to peanut cheese. IIRC someone trademark protected the word meaning peanut butter, thereby forcing everyone else to call it kaas (cheese) instead?!

It's the same in many other languages, it's not a good example of Dutch being silly.

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Something I like about the language is the homonyms.
Like pad means both toad and path, but then you have a voetpad (foot path/ foot toad), fietspad(cycling path/ bicycle toad) or a zebrapad (zebra crossing/ zebra toad).

The latter ones don’t exist, just to be clear :)

I see the Scots Wikipedia guy has found a new way to pass the time.

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Are you kidding. I love this!
Every time I see a dutch sentence I got a bigger and bigger feeling that it is the german language with the poetry of a romance one. chef's kiss

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 20 points 2 months ago

Had to go to translator and confirm this one.

Damn. Wow.

[-] dafo@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

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

This translation is off. The Dutch translation is too nice compared to what the English is trying to convey.

Translating it back it would mean "Hit me dad"

A more literal Dutch translation of the first sentence would be "Geef me kletsen pappie"

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Oh man, that's so much more serious
