My friend Diane (who is going to be a grandma in May!) learned a lot 
of Dutch when she was a child and her father worked for a while in 
Holland. I don't know how much Dutch she remembers except that she 
definitely remembers a number of long and complicated words that 
she used to express annoyance. Sometimes I ask her what they really 
mean, and IIRC one time she laughed and said that what she had 
just said meant "soak your head in cabbage soup".
