Taal is zeg maar echt mijn ding. (Language is like really my thing.)

Lovely book about the weird things we say in Dutch language.
This morning I read something about a speech of Hilary Clinton. She said "No way, no how, no McCain." To us 'no way' sounds really immature, because it's one of those English expressions kids love to use all the time.
Others are: whatever, anyway, talk to the hand. Yes, we use those exact terms in Dutch language. A lot. Even older people.
