Sure, you can order a pommes-frites with curry ketchup and pronounce Dries Van Noten's name without a hitch. But can you really get by in Belgium? Our Slang Dictionary will make sure of it.
To each his own preferences, but in Flanders it’s usually not a good thing when someone is “playing with your feet”––it means someone is trying to fool you or being dishonest. When your boyfriend or girlfriend is “playing with your feet,” s/he doesn’t have a foot fetish, (s)he’s taking you for a ride.
Example sentence: Don’t trust that guy, he’s trying to fool you! / Vertrouw die gast niet, hij is met uw voeten aan ‘t spelen!
