'Ier in Zeêland (althans, bie mien op Walcher) is dat zò'n bitje 't
zelde.
Volgens mien is 'ier oôk 'donders' een bitje 'not done', mae gelukkig è
ze
daè wat op gevonde: 'blinders!' Da's dus een mingseltje van 'donders' en
'bliksems'. Je 'oort 't nog wè gebruken, voraol bie 't wat meer
conservatieve deêl van de mensen.

Salu,

Hello all

The use of the word Donder in Afrikaans can be used as a swearword but
has extended its meaning to include the concept a beating or assault.
In this usuage it is always pronounced "donner".

ek sal jou donder - I will beat you up

ek sal jou goed opdonder - I will beat you up thoroughly.

I wonder if any of the other lawlands languages have the same usuages.
