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.
Don’t try this in France! In everyday French, baiser is a pretty damn vulgar term to describe the beautiful act of lovemaking. In Belgium, however, you shouldn’t freak out when a charming old grandmother requests une baise: all she wants is a little kiss on the cheek!
Example sentence: Be a nice boy, give me a kiss on the cheek! / Sois un gentil garçon, donne-moi une baise!
We'll be rolling out more Belgian slang throughout the month of June! Submit your own words to WEBSTORE@OPENINGCEREMONY.US with the subject line "Belgian Slang".
