* Contest Alert *
So… Hold on to your seats!!!I decided on a contest on some “Dutchy general knowledge”…
I have featured 10 Dutch words below and I am challenging you to think of what those words could mean, or what you feel they mean to you.
One important rule:
you are not allowed to look it up in any dictionary or use any translation assistance from anywhere or anyone!
So there can be no contacting Sherlock H. - Inspector G. - Sergeant Joe F. - Jessica F. or Mystery Inc. or whoever
It will not be tolerated and there WILL be a penalty
Just (try to) read the words and go with the flow… Who-ever comes up with the funniest descriptions, wins the contest!
At the end of your submission also list your favourite word out of the 10 listed and if you are the winner that will be your prize!!!
(Hell, I might even throw in some other Dutch goodies)
Neuspulk
Salmiakknots
Hutspot
Knakworst
Pindakaas
Melkmeisje
Vuurtoren
Wattenstaafje
Ganzenbord
Onderbroek
Obviously my Dutch friends are banned from the contest ;-)
So put on your thinking caps and have a go. Don’t let me down, you guys!
Leave your submission in the comments section or email it to me.
- Contest deadline: Friday June 23, midnight -

Wow. I’ve got a headache after trying this. Here’s what I came up with:
Salmiakknots - sweet pastry
Neuspulk - newspaper
Hutspot - kettle
Knakworst - a bad snack
Pindakaas - pinch in the ass
Melkmeisje - milk jug
Vuurtoren - medicine
Wattenstaafje - waffles
Ganzenbord - game board
Onderbroek - wonderbra
Sounds like a feast! My fav word is the first one on the list. It seems so complicated.
Salmiaknots–The kind of knots you must use when tying up Salma Hayek.
Neuspulk–Dutch for “new puke”. As in “Did he throw up some more of that beef stew?” “No, that’s new puke. I think it’s mostly corn chips”
Hutspot–The Dutch version of the G spot
Knakworst–The knak that finishes last in the competition
Pindakaas–A stew containing delicious panda meat
Melkmeisje–A ‘milk miser”; someone who buys up all the milk and won’t share with anyone
Vuutoren–When you really give it to someone. “Boy, he vuutoren that guy a new asshole!”
Wattenstaafje–a scrumptious daquiri drink made from rum and tulips
Gazenbord–what you are when you are so sick and tired of Gazen that you can’t stand it anymore.
Onderbroek–what happens when you abuse your Onder to the point where it no longer functions.
My favorite word is Pindakaas. I love panda meat :)
Neuspulk (sounds like “News Puke) A definition for when there is nothing on the nightly news but terrible things.
Salmiakknots (Salami Knots?) A new italian treat to be served on Christmas in lieu of the old fashioned Garlic Knots.
Hutspot - The hottest place to party in your town will be known as the “Hutspot”.
Knakworst - A very unpleasant snack. A great word for those of you who did not like the Salmiakknots.
Pindakaas - A childrens game, similar to Pin the Tail on the Donkey.
Melkmeisje - Something you do to a cow when they are unable to nurse their calfs. You then have to melkmeisje yourself manually.
Vuurtoren - The phrase for when you are so drunk you can barely see straight.
Wattenstaafje - This is the phrase that a doctor will exclaim when you have a really nasty infection. As in “MY OH MY! Wattenstaafje a terrible infection you have here!”
Ganzenbord - Similar to the American OUIJA board, only it doesn’t contact the dead. It summons all the local lemurs and llamas and moutain goats. If you end up having too many of them show up, you can always feed them the leftover knakworst.
Onderbroek - A phrase for when you cannot pay for something. “Damn, honey, would you pay for dinner tonight? Apparently onderbroek.”
It was also used as the original Dutch title for the movie “Brokeback Mountain”, but was scrapped at the last minute.
CP.
I’m still wiping away the tears of laughter from reading Mr. Fab’s definitions!
I’ll have to try this later.
But you already have several good ones!
I never had Dutch reading, but I am surprised at how many words I do know.
I probably shouldn’t play. Or maybe in few days. I know I would get some wrong, but not hutspot, pindakaas, or onderbroek.
I emailed you my answers instead. :) I just realized I didn’t email from my blog account, though, but that is ok. I just check the blog account the most.
Karl sent me. I’ll give it a whirl.
Neuspulk: Lizard semen.
Salmiakknots: Braided fish

Vuurtoren: Dutch Viagra
Wattenstaafje: Envy. Means “I want your stuff.”
Ganzenbord: Marijuana for the idle.
