Stop making the thread more intellectual and full with phylosophical babble!!!! You even made me, a Dutch, look the word “abbreviation” up in the dictionary!
I sincerely apologize for "making" you look up the word "abbreviation" in the dictionary. I had no idea that anyone felt the need to understand what other people are saying on the internet.

I also apologize for not laughing and honoring Vicsun for a short period of time. Please, Vicsun, by all means feel good about yourself for a bit.

I read all of his posts in their entirety, because I enjoy solving word puzzles.

I somehow just know that you are ridiculing our language here, but since I’m having a good day and the sun is shinning bright, I’ll let this pass

ROFL

I thank you for your understanding Von
And of course do I look English words up in the dictionary. Soon I will be studying English books (since I am doing an International Study), plus I will go to college in America (which is a part of our education).
So the more I already know about English, the more time and embarrassment it saves me.

No no no no no no!!!

Malta, as a fellow Dutch I have to implore you not to challenge fable. Hes a god with mod powers, and I hope you know what that means

Peace my brothers, the heathen war just took a break, lets not start a new one.

Lets all drink some Tequilla and we'll be fine

If he apologizes for his misdoings, I will forgive him.
But make it quick, since I will leave tomorrow afternoon for 6 days.

Agreed. Let us embrace booze, then...

TO BOTTLES, FRIENDS!

Let us keep ourselves smiling, playing card with gods or non gods alike...

Isn't there a phrase in Dutch whose literal meaning is something like "I'd much rather have an armpit"? (it ends in "oksel" or something)

And all this time I thought they were saying, "Come to think of it, I'll have a Heineken."

Yeah, but since the whole world started byuing and drinking Heineken and thus using that sentence, we decided to change our motto/phrase/whatever into something more original.

Now oksel (or: "armpit" in English) was a great word for a new motto/phrase/whatever because noone, except the dutch, know or can pronounce the word
