"Tollie" is the Surinamese-Dutch word for penis, looks like Afr "tolleman".
Btw most words begin with p- in dutch, penis, piel, pik, piemel, pieterman

In the Netherlands: St Dutch "ui" is "juin" in Brabant and "juun" in
Zeeland, "un" etc in Limburg, "siepel" in Low Saxon and Frisian and
"look" in the area of the river IJssel (the former Hansa-area in the
Netherlands), which is otherwise also Low Saxon speaking.

Those curly public urinoirs still exist in the Netherlands, especially in
Amsterdam, and they are still known as "krul". And still can stink an hour
in the wind, too use the local expression...

Alfred a écrit:

>My grandmother hated to live near the place where a local  'krul' stood.
>If the wind went West, she could not have her windows open any more.
>Modern techniques at the time did not imply  that  running water washed
>the  krul clean.

About male parts
Houdt dit gelul op of gaan we door in de vrouwelijke lijn.
I am not able to translate it in English, without losing the humor in the
saying.
May be you could Reinhardt

Oych, Rikus!  ;-)

Something tells me I shouldn't, and not only because explaining a pun is 
always a bad idea.  But the temptation is too great, and I feel compelled to 
repay you for the "t" you gave me, Rikus.  So here is my offering of an 
English approximate.  Hopefully, native English speakers, at least, will get 
it.

"Stop the poppycock, or let's turn to the female part!"

So there you have it!

Reinhard/Ron

P.S.: for those of you who absolutely *must* know: Dutch _lullen_ 'to fool 
around', 'to behave in a silly way', 'to talk nonsense', _gelul_ 
'tomfoolery', 'silliness', 'nonsense', _lul_ (1) 'silly person', (2) 'penis'
