   Well, my generation love a bit of van Dale every now and then. (-; And I   
   used the online version. There's also the Groene Boekje, but that hasn't   
   been published on paper for years. Apparently, it was replaced by   
   woordenlijst.org.   
      
   There was nothing there either:   
      
      
   So the translator used a made up word. Maybe I'll report this as a bug.

   The French have always been language purists. I mean, 'ordinateur'   
   (computer, PC), what the hell is that all about?

   If you're Flemish, then you know we also have another meaning of the   
   verb 'kletsen' as in 'een klets op billen geven'. (-;
