Originally posted by Sophie You know i never really thought about it before i met expats from native English speaking countries. But apparently one of the hardest things to wrap your head around when you're just learning Dutch is what the anglo-sphere expat community calls "Dutchisms". It's an interesting term to describe the following. When a word has two meanings but they both apply to the subject equally and we use it to describe something it's called a Dutchism. I'd call it an efficient use of language but what do i know. We have a lot of these built in to our every day vernacular which is quite remarkable and unique. Which is why i think native English speakers call it "Dutchisms".
Can you tell us about some? -

2019-07-01 at 12:54 PM UTCI mean if i called some Canadian something and they would say that back to me i'd probably burst out laughing, so i guess it's good at diffusing the situation. And i know i sound patronizing but it's actually a kids rhyme and i have no idea what made you think copy/pasting that was a good idea.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

Not sure if serious.
So does that mean you guys are mostly lesbians now since HTS is apparently a girl, and you apparently.. God I don't even know how to word this. You are insane if this is true. -

Oh jeez. I always thought a pocketbook was another name for a checkbook because my dad always used to say "Hold on, I need to grab my pocketbook" whenever he remembered that he needed to bring checks with him when going somewhere. -

2019-07-01 at 1:29 PM UTCA Canadian friend of mine used to think it was absolutely hilarious to say: Lekker bij de kachel.
You pronounce it kind of like: lick by the cockhole.
It means: Nice and cozy near the fireplace/stove/radiator.
And it's the linguistic equivalent of a dad joke.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

It means mind your heart, literally. But it means don't stress out. And also, stress is bad for you.
That sounds like a phrase old hags use in the South "Bless your heart", which means bless your intentions (heart), but also means "Sweetie, you're a bit of a dumbass". Which makes me wonder why women don't get beat up for saying it. -

It's different because it means the opposite of what you're actually saying. And they don't get beat up for it because it doesn't just mean. "You're dumb". It means: I know you have good intentions but maybe sit this one out ok?
It's way nicer than saying straight up: Lol you're dumb. -
2019-07-01 at 1:39 PM UTCBefore you dispute what i say give a good long think about why they would bless the heart specifically.

IDK I think it's quite a bit different than that, considering it can actually be used in a positive way. Southerners have a way of being polite even when they hate you. This is why actual vitriol makes them really really fucking mad. It's honestly not entirely dissimilar to guanxi with the whole honor thing. Chinese people do the exact same thing with being overly polite and kind to people they don't like. I think up North we are less friendly, but also less fake.
