Dutch and Afrikaans (South African) for "tasty", but used incessantly by the cloggies to describe everything that could ever possibly be considered even marginally above mediocre. Despite this not leaving much wriggle room in Holland, they manage to use it all the same, since they don't know any better. Rumour has it that after visiting Belgium (or indeed any other country less flat than Holland), use of this term diminishes remarkably, except when talking /about/ Belgium. I wonder why.
Lekker eten (tasty food) - it's not
Lekker meidjes (pretty girls) - they're not unless you like 6' rugby-playing types
Lekker slaap (ZA) (sleep well) - you won't
Lekker weer (nice weather) - it's not

Term coined by the lead singer of The Small Faces to describe the feeling when the amphetamines kick in. Became the name of probably the original progressive rock act, formed of Keith Emerson on organ, Blinkey Davidson on drums, Lee Jackson on bass, and Dave O'list on guitar: the forerunner of Emerson, Lake and Palmer (ELP).
Famed for Keith Emerson's stage performances involving serious organ abuse (imagine if Hendrix played the Hammond), throwing it around on stage, setting fire to it, sticking knives in it etc.

A particular breed of human who inhabit an exceedingly flat country bordering on the North Sea. Commonly over 6' tall, sporting a bushy moustache which does nothing to hide their enomous overbite, often seen riding ancient bicycles without due care and attention, and famed for wearing wooden shoes (clogs), from which their name derives. More likely to be on state-sponsored indefinite sick leave than have a job, these animals stack themselves into state-sponsored apartment blocks in the most densely populated area of northern Europe. Often seen in other parts of the world in their caravans, liberally stocked with chocolate sprinkles (to be eaten on bread), Heineken, meat croquettes, and porno mags, shocked that they are above sea level and not quite sure how to deal with the rarified air of the Cambridgeshire mountains. Children and dogs are usually untrained.
"I was on the train yesterday, and some hippy-arsed cloggie wasn't watching her untrainable kids, and one of them got out at a station for a joke and the train pulled away, so she pulled the emergency cord & delayed the train for 1/2 an hour. She couldn't see what the problem was.

2: One who engages in boerish behaviour or other peasantry, such as drinking White Lightning and giving glasgow kisses to one's mates, passers-by, and other innocents.

Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov
Founder of Communism in Russia. Remebered in the West mostly through the propagana of Stalin and later dictators, and as being not quite as bad as Stalin. Instigated the Red Terror (mass executions and deportations of suspected Whites during the Civil War, often by quota), and expanded the Tsarist political prison camp system into the GULAG which served Stalin so well. Made selling things an imprisonable offence (the crime of "speculation"), as well as expanding the definitions of punishable "political crimes", which often had worse punishment than real crimes. Laid the foundations for Stalin's work. Hero worshipped by young Western socialists who, if they had actually read anything that he wrote, would realise that he was an utterly barking moonbat.

Lenin said "The greatest threat to our revolution is ... the shopkeepers" (in response to inflated prices for goods in towns caused by the Red Army pillaging the countryside, killing peasants and confiscating their produce... all for "The People", you know!)
