   Not all Dutch/Flemish words are in the Van Dale (which, by the way, has   
   lost all its authority - the age of dictionaries is officially over).   
      
   Btw, our French-speaking compatriots invent funny words too. In another   
   group I saw the word niouseur (meaning newsreader > newser > niouseur).   
   Nothing serious about that one either. :-)   
      
   Still, kletskamer is a funny word, I think I'm going to start using it   
   from now on. :-)   
      
   Good luck with the project btw.
