shot/dram/nip/draught Explanation: Along the lines of Lianne's answer - but in English this time -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2009-10-02 15:41:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This video explains the term very nicely in Dutch and gives some ideas as to its origins: http://www.whatsontv.co.uk/youtube/search/pikketanissie/vide... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 mins (2009-10-02 16:02:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note to asker. Don't know why it didn't work. Works when I click it. There are other sites with the same video. It was a competition run by Het Parool. Have to close down now (Friday p.m.!) so can't search another for you. |
