I find it alarming how much of the Dutch language is basically English if spoken by an intoxicated Scooby Doo style mascot. The Germans at work start speaking German and I have no loving clue what they’re saying (and one of my grandmothers spoke German around the house), but I see a Dutch news segment online and it takes me a while to realize it isn’t just one of those clips, like “Drunk Anchorwoman Tries To Interview Man About Snails ”

Listening to dutch has been described as what it must be like to have had a stroke and have receptive aphasia.

I remember a GBS 1.0 thread where the OP asked what English sounded like to people who didn't grow up speaking English, and the consensus was either that Prisencolinensinainciusol song, or, Dutch

One of the funniest things I have experienced in my life to this day, was watching a 24 hour marathon showing of Jersey Shore dubbed into Dutch, while baked out of my mind in Amsterdam about 15 years ago. Holy poo poo what a day that was.

Do any other English speakers feel like they are really close to understanding Dutch while stoned? This must be a common phenomenon because of Amsterdam’s unique legal status for such a long time.

I keep thinking I’m so close to cracking the code. Maybe if I just smoke one more J. Maybe these kindly beautiful people with their silly made up language are counting on me to get high enough to figure this out. They’re counting on me to restore communication with the outside world. Like some kind of THC based Rosetta Stone.

You were so stoned you didn't realize you were not even watching Jersey Shore. Shows for teenagers and adults don't get dubbed here.

There was a reality show about young folks from The Hague clearly inspired by Jersey Shore. Maybe you watched that?

Actually, yeah, I think it is. Seemed a bit on the nose so I hit up google translate myself.



Guessing the OP of that tweaked the translate somehow.

Lol, again, could be :v: it would be hard to overstate just how hosed up I was that day. Earlier in the day my friend and I were sitting on our rooms balcony watching cows, every time I would turn away and look back at the cows they would be somewhere different. For sober people this is called "movement" and most creatures do it, but I was so high it seemed to me like the cows were just teleporting short distances because I never actually saw them move. Being high I was too scared to share this idiotic theory with my friend so instead I sat for an hour getting increasingly anxious while staring intently at a herd of cows. Good times.

I have never heard of this foot hand shoe thing and assumed it was a joke, sock in Dutch is just 'sok' or maybe 'kous'. However, I will preemptively state that I am fully prepared to be immediately owned by some goon from an obscure part of the Netherlands bursting in to declare that they do, in fact, call it 'sokhandschoen' or something

It is a possible translation, although it is closer to "punch me (in the face) daddy". You would probably mention "billekoek*" instead to keep it sexy in the bedroom.
