this is why we don't speak dutch in south africa...
certain words the dutch use as normal ordinary words means totally different things here in SA... this newspaper clipping from a dutch paper just proves that point...
translation:
poes = oer... nasty word that's used by very common people, poes is a really ugly word that refers to female genitalia in a extremely derogative way... if you call someone a poes you should really expect to be knocked to the ground with immediate effect... and then kicked some...
doos... another nasty word but more commonly used... generally means "idiot"... example: i felt like such a doos... or you are such a doos!
in english the caption reads:
Scared cat found in box...
hey hey it's Friday! hope you have a great one, I'll be off to the Oktoberfest tonight... drinking yucky german beer and screaming prost every 5 minutes... should be fun, it always is :)
auf wederzein en al daai lekker dinge!
