Please if you are Dutch/Belgian please leave the "correct" answers for other people from other languages, so we can all have fun! The prize for the "funny" answer is bigger anyway. Bedankt!
Here we go, waiting backstage before the concert. What to do but to catch up on an idioms post! However, it does mean I have to cut the other round a little short.... Hopefully I get this done before I got to work!
Just a quick not, please please please if you resteem the post for the Bonus prize, please write it in the comments (then I can check it quickly), otherwise I don't have the time to search for it a week later!
I'm learning Dutch. Everyone is familiar with idioms in their native language, but in an adopted language, they can quickly make you sound like an idiot! So, these are a few idioms in Dutch that I'm trying to learn, before I make an arse of myself!
Photos are my own, but the artwork is from a game called "Het Spreekwoorden Spel" that I was introduced to whilst studying Dutch!
To play this game, no Dutch is needed, I will give the literal translation in English.
Rules
- Upvote if you want, it helps me out to get the prizes done. Resteem if you want, again exposure means that maybe I can continue to increase the prizes!
- Have a go at trying to guess the meaning of each picture/idiom. You can enter BOTH a serious and a funny entry.
- Do it for each three!
- So to be clear: Each picture, a funny entry and a serious entry!
- Winner is at post payout. For the first serious correct entry (of each picture) there is a prize of 0.1 SBD. For the funniest (determined by me!) entry (for each picture) there is a 0.25 SBD prize.
- So, 6 prizes! You don't have to make an entry for each, but please make it clear so I know what is going on!
- BONUS: if you make an entry (required) and resteem (not required) then you go into a random draw for an extra 0.1 SBD. Just write resteemed in your answers so I don't have to chase everyone down!

Someone who is nosey, a busy body.
f. To Bee or Not to Bee, I paint, therefore I am.
Able to smell a rat, detect a lie, see through the foggy stench of bullshit
f. Oh I whistle while I toot, it turns it to a magical fruit. a match is struck, and fuels the flame, like a moth, no one to blame.
To lord it over someone, to treat someone with contempt and utter disrespect.
f. I'm innocent, I did nothing wrong, no that's not a knife i'm hiding behind my back. I don't know where all the blood came from.
Thanks again for the entry! (1)
