Talk:flens

Dutch flens
Which meanings of have you personally run across? I think that quite a few of them are geographically restricted. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  09:58, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , pancake. (in the diminutive) None of the others. Alexis Jazz (talk) 10:09, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I may have heared the interjection (seems to be in the same spirit as any onomatopoeia like plats, flats, smak, slurp etc.) and 1.1 (for the same reason; "Een flens om je oor" BTW: found two quotes  sounds somewhat familiar), but I'm not sure. I have yet to encounter the others. Thadh (talk) 10:13, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , yeah, I may have too, but I'm not really sure. Alexis Jazz (talk) 10:20, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , yes, those quotes clearly represent dialects spoken in the former Noorderkwartier (northern portion of North Holland). ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  16:24, 30 April 2021 (UTC)


 * . Only pancake as well. Morgengave (talk) 19:49, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

RFV discussion: April–May 2021
Dutch, RFV-sense "An exclamation to express hitting or throwing". In the WNT, but without citations. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  17:19, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Some citations. -- Curious (talk) 21:47, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! The citations are all Northern Dutch and are in a colloquial register as well, but I don't think I've ever heard this as an interjection. Is it dated or dialectal now? The noun "box on the ear" is present in few dialect dictionaries (given for Zaan + West-Friesland, Hoeksche Waard, northern Drenthe), so that too is probably less current than the entry suggests at the moment. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  08:34, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Added more citations, still no recent ones. Can't tell if it's dated or dialectal now; if it's dialectal, it will be hard to find citations. -- Curious (talk) 21:35, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * It is included in a few dialect dictionaries for dialects of Northern Dutch (mainly from Holland) and one Low Saxon dialect. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  07:37, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
