Doesn't lager also = camp? As in Konzentrationslager? (Okay, I know that's German, but you get the point)
There's certainly some comedy potential there, surely?

Konzentrationslager = Concentratiekamp
We call the Englisch Houses of Parliament "het Lagerhuis".
Translate it back to Englisch and I get something like Beerhouse i.e. a place where beer is consumed.
Nevermind....it's getting too silly now....

It's just subject, general, but you can take it as 'vak' too, profession is 'beroep'hallucienate wrote:onderwerp = vak?Obviousman wrote:Kies je kant en onderwerp?

But it does not have anything to do with camp really

Darn. Still, Lagerhuis for the Houses of Parliament is good. Beats the Reptile House, I think.

"kies je kant en vak" - that sounds afrikaans to me
"choose your side and profession" - english
"choose your side and subject" - english
"kiss your c*nt and f*ck" - my world if you say it quickly enough!
