minus-squaresuckaduck@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoBravo! A perfect write-up. You’re making us proud.
minus-squareBorgDrone@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-22 years agoI also quite like the word ‘droeftoeter’, meaning a sad/depressing person. The closest thing would be the word ‘loser’ in English.

minus-squareGraspieper@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoNice overview! I do not have any proof of this, but I think “Godverdomme”, which is still very common, is a bit unique because rather that God damning it or -you, it translates to God Damn Me.
