Dutch term or phrase: nu even
Een laatste voordeel van de X methodiek is de combinatie van toegankelijkheid en meerdere lagen. Zoals een Walt Disneyfilm leuk is voor de allerkleinsten maar ook voor ouderen vanwege de, soms subtiel verborgen, soms dik aangezette, verwijzingen naar andere films, zo is dat ook met X. Op een simpel, oppervlakkig niveau is er al mee te werken: ‘Heren, nu even een beetje Blauw graag’, is een kreet die heel snel wordt begrepen. Het is een eigen taal die als een gezond virus door de organisatie gaat.
I translated this as right now, but the editor has removed it.
