Fact...Sounds Dutch to me

[Hedgehog]

The Yiddish for finger is 'toe'.



I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof. RODNEY DANGERFIELD

The Yiddish for finger is 'toe'.

"finger" in Dutch is "vinger". But pronounced very different form the English word (like the English "winger", but with a "v"). And "toe" is "teen" (pronounced like "jane", but with a "t" instead of the "j". obviously)

Thought as much, although I haven't heard before of that one. I know there are a lot of "nice" phrases in English with the word "Dutch" to describe less desirable things. Like "dutch courage" etc.
Must be from the time the Dutch used to beat the sh*t out of the English....
