The thing with Dutch is that all the normal words sound rude and all the rude words sound normal! :shock:
The French say 'mercredi' which means wednesday (!) but starts with the same letters as 'merde' which means sh....t! Like us saying 'sugar'! And 'punaisse' which means thumb tack but starts with the same letters as the rudest French word which means 'prostitute' - not so bad in English but I can't type the French here - it would be the equivalent of the eff word! :shock:
