Get the Linguistic assimilation mug.If you’ve ever been to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, you’ve probably encountered some gongoozlers.

Now that you know the word, you’ll probably notice gongoozlers everywhere—walking along the riverbank, on the beach, strolling around your neighborhood pond on a sunny afternoon. You, yourself, have probably been gongoozling for years without even realizing it.
