"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.

>>    In Flanders we still use the word "ajuin" in our daily Dutch
>vocabularium.
>    In our own dialect we rather say "anjoen / andjoen". >

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:
>I do remember in ancient Dutch the word: Krul which meant to be the
>public urinoir, or openbare waterplaats.
>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.
