Only Dutch people know this! #2

Only the Dutch know the following:
- Er staat een paard in de Gang (There is a horse in the corridor)
- 'K heb twee grote bloemkoole (I have 2 big cauliflowers)
- Weet je wat ik zou willen zijn? Een bloemetjesgordijn! (Do you know what I want to be, a flower curtain!)
- Het is weer tijd voor de Polonaise Hollandaise, van hier tot Oeteldonk, bij Hoevelaken linksaf! (It's time for the Polonaise Hollandaise, from here to Den Bosch, at Hoevelaken turn left)
We showed these sentences to foreigners who are learning Dutch, and let them guess what this is about...
Of course... these are phrases from the most famous Dutch carnival songs. But that's not quite obvious... and it's hilarious to watch how these foreigners try to guess the deeper meaning of these Dutch carnival song phrases...

It’s not like when you say cauliflower (bloemkool) in dutch, everyone is assuming you’re talking about breasts. In the song they refer to breasts as bloemkolen, but it’s not a common assumption 😂

If you talk about big cauliflowers in Dutch, people will definitely think you're talking about breasts. Especially in the south.

[@MrAfusensi]

@@nonexistingvoid never heard of breasts being referred to as cauliflower. Melon yes, never cauliflower. I'm from Rotterdam so that may be why

[@sadkingbilly]

MrAfusensi watch the original Andre van duin clip where during this song he’s carrying two cauliflowers in a very.. suggestive way. Everybody who’s seen that clip thinks the same if he hears the song 😆

[@MrAfusensi]

@@sadkingbilly yes I understand that, but it being used in a comedy song isn't the same as cauliflower generally being known as breasts. Like Marian said it might be a southern thing, or I'm wrong.

[@Sahi_PK]

The four songs are Carnaval-songs. Carnaval is held the weekend before the 40 days of fasting before Easter and is a Roman Catholic tradition. The four songs are a bit old (seventies and eighties) but well known: "Bloemetjesgordijn", "Ik heb hele grote bloemkolen", "Er staat een paard in de gang" and "Polonaise Hollandaise". The singer of the second and the third one is André van Duin, a well-known Dutch comedian (his kind of comedy is a bit comparable to Danny Kaye or Weird Al Yankovic), who is now the presenter of Heel Holland Bakt (the Dutch version of the television show "The Great British Bake-off).

[@beatrizpalacios5517]

This totally destroyed my confidence in my ability to speak and understand Dutch..

[@jpdj2715]

@@beatrizpalacios5517- these four phrases are extremely dutch (lowercase - the medieval words 'dutch', 'duits' in Dutch, 'diets' in Flemish and 'deutsch' in German all mean 'folk' or 'common' - as a distinction from Romance language based self appointed higher class rulers and clergy imperialists with their killing, raping and looting merciless mercenaries.) From a high brow perspective today, I would not even cite these four phrases when totally inebriated, nor participate in a polonaise. As a younger elder, I found out today that in one of these lines, 'cauliflowers' means 'melons'. A fifth phrase of inebriated dutch quality could have been, " 'k ben zo blij dat m'n neus van voren zit en niet opzij" (I'm so glad my nose is in front and not to the side). A sophisticated Dutch standup comedian once commented that, to resonate with the more high brow, the text should have been, " 'k ben zeer tevreden dat m'n hoofd van boven zit en niet beneden" (I'm very contented that my head is high and not down.) Communication = context.

[@Annekee007]

These are carnaval song, probably also on youtube. Most of them don't have a meaning. De bloemkolen are big breasts. 'Een paard in de gang' and 'een bloemetjesgordijn' doesn't mean anything as far as I know.. Correct me if I'm wrong. Just a bunch of crazy silly song, making it absurd, because Dutch people like sing silly songs during carnaval..

[@DrCatdeJong]

Yeah don't even bother finding a meaning in the songs, the only thing that really matters is that it's easy to sing along when you're drunk. Or a super easy dance, one song is just jumping left, then right, left, right, and then just jump in place, after that you might still have some beer left, best thing to do when you hear the intro of the song is to just finish your beer.

[@jpdj2715]
