quote[edit]

Google gives a couple of references for a poem called Wat een etersbaas, one of which references a collection Oude Versjes by S. Abramsz. This includes the lines:

Zeven krentepannekoeken,
als mijn duim zo dik
zeven sneën krentemik,
en nog tot besluit
zeven rol beschuit.

If this could be sourced and dated, it might prove a good quote for the noun. Hv 00:04, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vulgarity of Afrikaans "crotch"[edit]

@Lingo Bingo Dingo: I hadn't heard this before, so I don't know. But that combined with the fact that it's absent from my dictionary makes me suspect that it is... —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 23:48, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Metaknowledge Apparently at least one dictionary has this as informal. Do we have any native speakers of Afrikaans who are active contributors? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 07:50, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent question. I'm not sure if @Naudefj is still active. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:43, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's unusual but 100% correct! See WAT: "Deel v.d. onderlyf waar die dye bymekaarkom" :-) Naudefj (talk) 06:42, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Naudefj Would you say that the word is informal, or perhaps vulgar? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 08:43, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Informal, sure, but not necessarily vulgar. Naudefj (talk) 15:11, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
