    You are probably better of learning Manchurian . They already own half of the world and they haven't fired a shot at us yet ?

    You left out "bull's pizzel".

    Back in high school, we all just had to look up what the fuck is a "bull's pizzel"?

    (turns out it's the penile bone from a ...... bull, of course. They were used to make walking sticks, quite fashionable at the time. Makes me very glad that I'm not a cow).

    Okay, but the translation of 'with' in Dutch is 'met' and that can mean as well positive as negative.

    The dutch "met" is very close to the german "mit".

    As a german myself, I don't speak dutch, but I can understand it pretty well, when I hear people speaking dutch.

    Indeed, and "mit" can also be as well positive as negative.
