Go up one level in this thread

>Blikskottel undoubtly originated from "blikken schotel" (tin saucer) in Dutch.
>That goes for Blechschüssel (not in the meaning of an "Untertasse", I think, but
>more the plate form) as well.

Thanks Jeroen! Do Dutch people use "blikken schotel" in the derogatory sense
that it has become in Afrikaans?

Also, I understand that Afrikaans sounds (to Dutch ears) like a really backwards
dialect; something like Flemish with a couple-of-hundred years out of date
accent. Can you confirm this?

All in the interests of better chess programming, of course :)

Cheers
Adam
