Little flipping b*tches (wentelteefjes): French toast. The word teef used to indicate a certain form of pastry or cake, but these days, it sounds a bit odd. Perhaps we should go with the French: pain perdu, or 'lost bread'.

Today's word is more of a pronunciation issue. The first time I heard my daughter talk of a Mento, I paused. I'd never realised Mentos could be plural. I looked it up, and officially, 1 sweet is still a Mentos. But in Holland, we pronounce it Men-Toss. Chew on that for a while.
