I am not so sure quite; that it is a kwestie of 'laziness' as it be
linguististic.  The last semester in university I took a course in «the
History of English», in which course we studied diferent dialects and
varieties of Ingels.

Thois is a matter upon which we had much discussion.  It appears that the
varieties such as one encounters throughout the US and the UK are the
result of sound shifts, frequently, as opposed to 'laziness'.  This is
whye I take the gent to ask for such questions.  They are, I believe
rooted by classism and racisme.  This is not to suggest that anyone is
intentionally raciste in their argument; but rather that their argument
has wortle theirin.  Since the people which speak it most are poor and /or
Afrikaans-Amerikaans.

Hello Wim and Gabriele,

I found a few  Flemish words that  are related with this  word:
kul = E: a marble, a little stone bullit where chldren used to play
with.
kulbalg = scrotum
kulte(n)= E: clothes (something you have around you ?)
  ex.: V: Hij heeft z'n beste kulten aan.
"Kulder/kolder" used to be a leather armour.  Related with "quilt" ?
kuil = a round pit
kuil = a big round pile of wooden sticks.
kuilen = smoke that is whirling up
