Now it’s really diverse. Some of the biggest Dutch comics ( caberatiers is what we call them) are: Hans Teeuwen, Theo Maassen, Najib Amhali and Jochem Meyer. They are all known to talk about taboos and about different cultures. Despite being very open and direct, the Dutch can also be reserved and private. As a result, they seldom initiate interactions with strangers. When you engage in conversations with Dutch people, it’s a good idea to be aware of some topics that are considered impolite. In general, the Dutch avoid discussing subjects that could place people in any kind of hierarchy. For instance, you shouldn’t discuss money or personal wealth with people you don’t know well. On the other hand, Dutch people are much more open when speaking about certain topics that are taboo in other cultures, such as sex. Body language

It’s no secret – the Dutch love their peanut butter. Whether it’s on a white slice of bread with a sprinkling of hagelslag (more on that later) or in a saté sauce, they cannot get enough of this nutty spread. Photo: Lucy Lambriex/Getty Images

The freedom of speech is used here. This can be seen in the Zwarte Piet Discussion as well. It’s tradition, part of Dutch culture, to make jokes about others. And they can be quite harsh. But it’s not meant like that, it’s a joke. It’s for laughing.

In the Netherlands, it’s polite to greet people when you enter certain situations. For instance, when you walk into a waiting room at the doctor’s office, it’s customary to greet others with a simple “ hallo” (hello) or “ goededag” (good day). When leaving, you can wish people “ fijne dag” (have a nice day) or “ dag” (goodbye).

Most of my life is spent avoiding conflict. I hardly ever visit Syria.” – Alex Horne (Photo: Pexels.com) If I was an Olympic athlete, I’d rather come in last than win the silver medal. You win the gold, you feel good. You win the bronze, you think, ‘at least I got something.’ But you win that silver, that’s like, ‘Congratulations, you almost won! Of all the losers, you came in first! You’re the number one loser! No one lost ahead of you!’” – Jerry Seinfeld The Dutch are known to swear and call each other names. There are some bad words. But they like to mix it up, and make it a bit funnier. A typical example of being direct and saying what you want, that might be a bit offensive, but should not be taken like that. I’ve found countless examples of amusing expressions, insults and, vocabulary oftentimes with equally funny or interesting origins. I do love a bit of etymology so I’ve included some of them where known. Origin: The actual origin likely has little to do with the subject of cleanliness and more to do with the lesser know meaning of the word ‘ schoon’ meaning beautiful/fair. Similar to the French term belle-mere, schoonmoeder thus refers to your ‘beloved’ mother-in-law.
