    This “cuck” is probably an anglicism.

    Also, the barrier between English and Dutch is pretty flimsy.

          I’ve heard it described as “a drunk British sailor trying to speak German”.

      I wish the Dutch would respect my barriers more.

        You know, a few hundred years ago, they respect the barriers even less.

        Especially to their colonies.

            Didn’t every language start as a dialect?

              Possibly, but the distinction here is that the differentiation of Dutch and German didn’t happen that long ago, and this would be a lot more obvious if the German dialects that are closest to Dutch weren’t nearly dead.
