Thread Name: good old Dutch & goddam Dutch/Drunk Last Night
Subject: RE: the good old Dutch and the goddam Dutch...
we had a discussion earlier about the word Deutsch--the German word for German (Germany=Deutschland) and Dutch---which means from Nederland or the Netherlands...of Holland. What would be the meaning for "Nether" is
it something like those other lands, or "far away" if so that seems like a funny name for your home land....such as the nether regions....
