okay, i have another: asshole that could also be a 'klootzak' or 'smeerlap'
and junior is definitely being a 'kreng' (although is have to say, i do feel a bit sorry for her. She thought daddy and Ellery were going to be her 'knights in shining armour' but that's not going to happen) so 'kreng' is maybe too strong

Yeah, "kreng" is a bit more like bitch than "trut"  Actually bitch is now quite common in the Dutch language too!
Haha, yep "klootzak" is another good one!

And with this, we reach 4600 magnificient posts, folks! 5000 is in our sights!

And to help things along just a tiny little bit:

SQUEEEEEE!!

Now, if ALL of us were to make these terribly 'insightful' posts -  we'd get there in NO time!

Ahem - just a little something TOTALLY off topic  but I hope our sweet mods won't mind!! 

I posted my very first piece of writing, a drabble, on BBSlash this morning.....if anyone is interested I'm big_heart_june over there 

Back to our two favourite guys!

We also used to use "cock" as meaning the top, the best, for example "He's the cock of the school" meaning he was the top man. I love this word, it's SO expressive!

Oh yes, Kate, I'd forgotten about that meaning, thats used up North too.   Yeah, its a great word,  I agree!

And cock of the walk. That's the way I have always heard it although it seems to be an older expression, one my grandmother would use.

That's one I've heard, too, fairly recently, actually... just can't remember where or when... maybe I read it... I suffer from CRS disease (Can't Remember Shit).

In honor of a very loving, sweet, hot, and tender chapter (all at once), I offer a gift to the wardrobe gallery: Ellery's loafers!
