fri., 10 apr., 2015: frisian & dutch dork calls, i.: give us This Day our Daily Curse

FRISIAN:  Sukkel... 
DUTCH:  Sukkel... 

‡)   Dork...  /  Wimp...”  /  Pisher...”  /  Putz...”  / “Pussy...”   [ But not “nerd” — nerds actually being cool after a fashion, or at least adept at techy things... ] NOTE: Frisian loan word, still used in Dutch & Frisian. Not the harshest of invective in either language... Still, useful as a sort of calesthenics,  invective warm-ups, to pace yrself.
