- 2023 March 9, Prof. Soortkill, “Shout out naar NRC, man [Shout out to NRC, man]”, in NRC Handelsblad[1], retrieved 2 August 2023:
- Middels zo’n shout out kunnen we aangeven dat we degene in kwestie zien, zo van: ‘Ik zie je! En je doet er dusdanig toe dat iedereen dat mag weten.’ (...) Want waar de gewone Nederlander hoogstens ‘hoi, mam!’ roept, strooien wij Smibanesen met omin shout outs, en we mogen niemand vergeten!
- A shout out like this allows us to express that we see the person in question, like, 'I see you! And you matter so much that everyone should be aware of it.' (...) Because whereas a regular Dutch person would shout 'Hi, Mum!' at most, we Smibanese pile up a great many shout outs, and we cannot overlook anyone!
