Dutch words in general are insane. My favorite is Schildpad=turtle. Which literally means "shield Toad"
Exact same usage in German: Schildkröte.
But its not like the English language doesn't do the exact same thing.
Most languages: Ananas
English: pineapple
Tho, I would say, even tho its piney, a pineapple is nothing like an apple.
Fine. Hedgehog then.
