fri., 4 apr., 2014: the dutch of human kindness, iii.: give us This Day our Daily Curse

DUTCH:   Kankerlekker! 

     )  Lit,  Tastes like Cancer!”  /  “Cancer-licious!”  =  i.e., “Delicious!”  NOTE:  Though actually used to express a great approval of, or delight with, any particular meal or snack or food,  this felicitous expression is for usually some odd reason considered in “bad taste”...  Go fucking figure...  The most reasonable Dutch rejoinder to anyone finding this expression offensive would be to tell the offended party to go get a disease & die.
