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.
