#Dutchlingo of the week: lentekriebels - spring fever, or rather spring jitters. A bodily itch to enjoy the first rays of spring sunshine. Not to be confused with hooikoorts (hay fever), which not so coincidentally often coincides with the advent of spring.

A dirty martini the #Amsterdam way, with instead of smashed olives, ‘zilveruitjes’ (silver onions) by local producer @kesbeke, at newly reopened Café de Reiger @dereiger.

#Dutchlingo of the week: ‘ja-knikker’. Yes-man. From the North-American oil production machinery: the device that goes up and down as if it’s incessantly saying ‘yes’ to all things evil. Yes to bullying, yes to humiliating, yes to lying and cheating. Yes-men seem to be back in fashion.

Dutch lingo of the week: woorddiarree. Literally verbal diarrhea. When someone is talkin’ so uncontrollably, that it seems like a never-ending stream of verbal ‘poo’ is coming out of their mouths.

Article in @volkskrant.nl about what changed permanently post-Covid in #theNetherlands. What was already on its way out, but got a final push? The 3 Dutch greeting kisses - de drieklapper. Gone! No more need to hesitate about which cheek to start with. Instead, we hug.

In #Dutch you can make a new noun out of any 2, 3 or why not 4 other nouns, simply by pasting them together. Spotted today in the Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl: klimaatrouwceremonie, a ceremony to mourn the (current state of the) climate. How about that?
