Because there's nothing more a Dark Elder God likes than to go out on the razz in the English riveria, eh?I'm sure I saw her in a club in Southend the other week. She turned me down, obviously.

Err, let me see, don't quite know how to translate it, think MB might know a better one... Anyway, it has a sexual connotation, it almost equals masturbationMrChris wrote:A ruck in English means a fight - but now I'm curious about what it means in Dutch!

I am not explaining the word *ruck* in dutch that a man has to do and I do not think the word *fight* went into the aboved mentioned thought in dutch....

I'm even more puzzled now - how can something ALMOST equal masturbation? On second thoughts, I've always thought linguistic differences were a good thing. It's probably best that everyone in the world fails to understand each other most of the time...

Ah, well, okay
The verb 'rukken' means male masturbation, but it's more like a popular (Flemish) term for it, can't think of any in English at the moment... So in the same sentence as sperm (whale) you can see our problem
BTW It seems a Sperm Whale is a 'Potvis' in Dutch, or literally translated a Lesbian Fish (again, popular term for lesbian, but anyway)
Can't believe I've just been explaining this,

Don't apologise. The knowledge that a sperm whale in dutch means a lesbian fish has improved my day beyond measure. Now, do you know we have birds called tits, boobies and shags?

You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye

Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"

It is MrChris....but now I'm confused
Obviousman "(slag=blow)"
"blow" = smoking dube
"blow" = a sexual favour done well

No wonder Europe was always at war with language mix ups like this..
I can just imagine the Dutch diplomat asking the Belgian diplomat for the whipped cream and getting slapped instead....

Yeah and then we won't go into the fact that the dutch language changes every 5 years or something with regards to the spelling of certain words....can you imagine the confusion.....
