Dutch flens
[edit]@Morgengave, Thadh, Alexis Jazz Which meanings of flens have you personally run across? I think that quite a few of them are geographically restricted. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 09:58, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Lingo Bingo Dingo, pancake. (in the diminutive) None of the others. Alexis Jazz (talk) 10:09, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- I may have heared the interjection (seems to be in the same spirit as any onomatopoeia like plats, flats, smak, slurp etc.) and 1.1 (for the same reason; "Een flens om je oor" BTW: found two quotes [1][2] sounds somewhat familiar), but I'm not sure. I have yet to encounter the others. Thadh (talk) 10:13, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thadh, yeah, I may have too, but I'm not really sure. Alexis Jazz (talk) 10:20, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Thadh, yes, those quotes clearly represent dialects spoken in the former Noorderkwartier (northern portion of North Holland).

Dutch, RFV-sense "An exclamation to express hitting or throwing". In the WNT, but without citations. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 17:19, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
- Some citations. -- Curious (talk) 21:47, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Curious Thank you! The citations are all Northern Dutch and are in a colloquial register as well, but I don't think I've ever heard this as an interjection. Is it dated or dialectal now? The noun "box on the ear" is present in few dialect dictionaries (given for Zaan + West-Friesland, Hoeksche Waard, northern Drenthe), so that too is probably less current than the entry suggests at the moment.
←₰-→Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 08:34, 29 April 2021 (UTC)- Added more citations, still no recent ones. Can't tell if it's dated or dialectal now; if it's dialectal, it will be hard to find citations. -- Curious (talk) 21:35, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- It is included in a few dialect dictionaries for dialects of Northern Dutch (mainly from Holland) and one Low Saxon dialect.
