Hoi Allemaal,
I have a small tegel given to me by my cousin. On it is printed "Uw beste
talisman is een glimlach".
Could anyone tell me what a glimlach is. It sounds like a character from Lord of
the Rings books.
Cheers from Sydney

"Dutchman's breeches," eh?

Terloops, Mark, het jy daardie Kaapstad se Nederlandse
woordeboekie gesien waarna ek aan jou 'n skakel het gestuur?

Yrs, too :)

PS: Mark, weet jy dalk wat die militere afkortig "GAJON" kan beteken?
Die konteks is kort: 'n kwalifikasiesertifikaat lees: "KURSUS: BASIES PRAKTIES EN
GAJON."
Dankie by voorbaat
Vlad
