Natuurlijk! Silly stupid boys stooping (fig.) over a yet pretty girl named Porch. (Well... it is an inviting name I must admit) Silly boys are as world wide spread as silly jokes.

But yes,Helen, trap is unaltered Dutch and stoop is changed from stoep. (phonetically alike)
Come to think of it.Why are Dutch people called Dutch? Nothing to do with Holland or the Netherlands. From Ditch maybe? We have millions of them large and narrow.Water water everywhere.From Duits?

Yes . I remember it was Diets (pr. Deets ) in middle Dutch .Something to do with Germany after all.

I guess zmjhezd would know but would he visit silly threads like this?
