    The most well known Dutch dictionary is made by Van Dale, and it’s a big book so we call it the Dikke Van Dale, which translates to Thick/Fat/Lard-Ass Van Dale.

      yeah I looked it up and saw “thick van dale” as a nickname, but I thought it might be a weird translation. makes sense there would be more names.
