Schmooze has settled into the dutch language as:
smoezen . It has about the same meaning: some people talking at low voice, often in the company of others.
It can have a positive tendency (preparing a surprise) or a negative one (gossiping).(Or also business transactions)
I hope this is the right place to make this post.Or do you people make a different thread for each word of the week ?

Thanks for today's Thomas Jefferson quote . Where has all that wisdom gone?
