Doesn't look that happy to me. Let's cheer her up and go to a funeral.
She'd love that!
Because it's Thursday
But it may one day be Wednesday again, my dude
Mom said its my turn to point out its Thursday in Australia/New Zealand
Chur!
I mean I missed the memo so thank you
Same, I’m an adhd elder, I need these reminders
Finally something new I'll post instead "good morning" next Wednesday in team channel!
Only the Dutch will know what this picture has to do with Wednesday
I would like to know more!
Does it involve genever?
I feel super cool cause I bought a bottle of it at the Amsterdam airport when I had a layover there. Interesting stuff. The way you drink it is filling the glass to the very top and then sipping the first drink? Usually paired with a beer?
It has nothing to do with Jenever but I’m glad you discovered that :)
The picture is taken from an episode of “Jiskefet” (Frysian for trash can), a humorous tv show from quite a while ago, where there was a recurring part called “Debiteuren Crediteuren” where fun was made of Dutch office life. In one episode, a typical office joke was told where the word/name Zaagmans (lit. “Saw Man”) was introduced for “the guy that comes by and saws the week in half” on Wednesdays mid day (this sounds way WAY better in Dutch).
It is no Jenever, but if you’d like to show off your knowledge of Dutch culture, this is a great piece of it.
The wiki page gives me a good idea of what it meant. And I can see why it was popular and one of those things that sticks around.
Thank you so much for sharing a little of your culture with me ❤️
One day I hope to visit more of your country than the airport terminal. The people who work there made it a very nice day.
Always a pleasure!
I'm Dutch and I have no clue.
Ik snap er geen zak van.
Je hebt nog nooit van Debiteuren Crediteuren - Zaagmans gehoord???
Edit: complete aflevering, officieel kanaal
Alleen stukjes maar nooit een hele aflevering. Ik heb wat huiswerk zo te zien.
Kan ik jou dan interesseren in een potje stiften? 🤡
So that is the context of this
