De-hiatus?

For the moment!

And now, a taste of the letter 'D,' via the Danish and the Dutch:

The Danish use the word "skvaddernosse" to describe people who talk a lot and don't have much to say. It literally means "talkative balls."

The Dutch have a multitude of lovely terms:

-aflebberen: to kiss intensely in a public place.
-beffen: to stimulate the clitoris with the tongue.
-bekken: to French kiss.
-botergeil: very horny, very lewd. This word means literally "butter-lewd" and is only used for women. A tentative explanation is that butter (being rather slippery) is associated with the vagina of a sexually aroused woman.
-geilneef: a man who is always horny.
-klaarkomen: to come, to have an orgasm. The normal meaning is "to finish, to get ready."
-opgeilen: to arouse sexually (intentionally).
-vingeren: to stimulate the clitoris with the fingers.
-vleesroos: literally "rose of flesh," a.k.a. "pussy."
