Flemish term or phrase: smospot
Dit is een soort scheldwoord in het Vlaams, geloof ik. Weet iemand een vertaling hiervoor. "Dit is een idee van een bende smospotten".

agree  Kate Hudson (X): It's often used in Flemish as a 'liefkoos' word especially for small children

  -> so, a 'kooswoord' ( http://www.seniorweb.nl/gen/Zeemansvrouw.htm ). Funny, kooswoord and -naam and (lief)kozen are the only Dutch words akin to English cosy. For the rest, everything is 'gezellig'.
