I discovered about this today, I love it :D

But, for this one..

Did you know the dutch ‘koekje’ comes from ‘kaakje’ which means basically the same.. and as far as I know.. ‘kaakje’ comes from ‘cake’

Also, I wouldn’t translate ‘koekje’ as ‘little cake’… basically because you can just translate it as.. (little) cookie

random lesson….I was asking somebody who is an old school geek about cookies and he said “its a tracking devise” and more, but not desert…from The Philosophy of Schopenhauer—-THE METAPHYSICS OF THE LOVE OF THE SEXES “Ye wise men, highly, deeply learned, Who think it out and know, How, when, and where do all things pair? Why do they kiss and love? Ye men of lofty wisdom, say What happened to me then; Search out and tell me where, how, when, And why it happened thus” ___Burger

Good point birchbeertree. Think I’m gonna have to start using that. Though I think that could be attributed to a whole phase that spawned phrases like cutie/sugar pie, honeybun, cupcake etc etc. HFW and HFP are my sweet cheeks “slap”

This is a good one.

As we all know, the Germans have long had a habit of, well, invading Paris, crushing the gov’t under their jackbooted heels & then, uh…chilling out and basically behaving like reasonably well-mannered (albeit heavily armed) tourists. Now, the way the story goes, German occupation forces were perplexed by the little windowed half-doors French shop-keepers favored. Ergo, they would look at each other & say, “Vas is dad?” So frequently did the Germans occupy France that “vasisdas” was eventually added to the French lexicon to describe these funny little half-doors. I might be off on one or too small details but this is the gist of it.

Funny!
But I think I’ve found out your secret.
It has something to do with a Tin Foil Cap.

I could tell you, Warren, but then I’d have to kill you.

Besides, these supreme mental powers that I have at my disposal are not safe in the hands of mere mortals. I am only now attempting to harness this power, and use it for good.
