Was working and decided to go get a drink so I Took my headphones off.
Just in time to hear a colleague say: (in Dutch it sounds better) Beste Bob, krijg de tering.

English equivilant: dear bob, go fuck yourself.

Giggled hard 😆

😂😂 I love unexpected moments like this lol. Hope your day is treating you well, man!

@johngreen Nah it was towards a client from a ticket, forgot the real name and privacy so calling him bob.

My name isn't bob either!

@johngreen 'linuxuxux' or in short, @linuxxx

@johngreen My real name shall remain hidden :)

In dutch it does sound better. Also because in dutch we, for some reason, curse with diseases, which makes it so much more powerful.

@linuxxx Alright, 'Hidden' it is.

- Now paying someone to teach me how to curse someone out in Dutch and the “”basic”” language structure.

@7root 😂😂

@Codex404 Tbh I'm fine with tering or tyfus but other than that (especially cancer) I'll probably say something about it.

But you don't have to agree on that :)

@linuxxx you should hide your name in the privacy site.

@linuxxx Why don't you sort the articles based on date? Its a bit confusing now

@linuxxx man I thought I was the only one who thinks that cursing with 'cancer' is crossing the line...

@Jifuna It'll be sorted differently soon! Not on date but close enough :)

@linuxxx OT, but I've been meaning to ask if you have used mosh? I hear you mention your bad internet connection, and that you do tablet based admin (I'm pretty sure there's an Android implementation too). It's a game changer for situations like that. It can keep an SSH connection alive even thru a WiFi AP change!

@linuxxx nope cancer is not done, and tering and tyvus should be limited. But once in a while I dont mind.

@Codex404 Yup cancer is not done, no doubt on that one!

@linuxxx I generally choose syphilis for diseases, or papercuts. Fire if I really hate someone.

So, Dutch equivalent of "fuck" is "de"?

@EmptyStack nope 'de' is more like 'the'

The direct translation goes something like

Krijg de tering bob
Get the phthisis bob

But the actual meaning is
Krijg de tering bob
Go fuck yourself bob

@incognito Ah!! Got it now
