(The Dutch attach genitals or diseases to words to turn them into swearwords. This one is often used for "shit life" but it literally means "vagina life" which I find very fitting and ironic in this context)
Something that's always confused me is that here we don't pronounce numbers from left to right. So instead of hundred ninety six (100-90-6) we say honderd zes-en-negentig (100-6-90)
I'm like "let's look up some jumpstyle videos on YouTube for the onlookers in this conversation" but I think it's all been deleted out of sheer cringe.
The other dances are also very well executed. I think jumpstyle worked so well as a fad dance is because it's easy to learn, variation is pretty basic, you can somewhat blend in if you can keep a rhythm. Whereas tectonik is fucking awesome but you look like an idiot unless you're crazy good and wayyy confident.
Yeah it was around that time and I am very certain you have the right one in mind. It ended up being the secret "I participated in the Holland exchange" dance in our school and I can still kick it

Kutleven!

cunt life would be better. Even more correct: a cunt’s life , ie a very bad life.
I took into account that OP's domain is from the UK, where everybody calls each other a cunt and therefore lifes a cunt's life by default.
Absolutely fair!
To add a few more examples:
this sounds funny bc keuken sounds like dick in swedish
And kök looks like cock in English, so we've come full circle (I know it's not pronounced that way)

Swedish Chef was always really Dutch. All faux-Nordic languages by Americans is.
He really should be named Duch chef.

"Oh yeah bud, we were just neuken in keuken all night eh?"

English used to be that way as well:
In these lyrics "four and twenty" means 24
Which actually makes sense when you remember that English, before the Normans at least, was very close to dutch.
And it's all because they are germanic languages (at least old English is), and this is the same in German (vier und zwanzig).
Modern English is still a Germanic language, but with a LOT of Latin and French thrown in.
Yeah, and then we got better
I really, really struggle to see how the Normans made English "better".
They made a successful cipher that has thwarted their enemies into perpetuity.
Ah, the same way Linux was able to thwart hackers for as long as it did.
I used to work in England as an export clerk for a Dutch transport company. This is the first phrase my Dutch colleges taught me.
Neophyte - Neuken in de keuken
I did an exchange program with the Netherlands once (Mgr Frencken College or something) and this sentence and a weird ass kick dance was all I learnt
I think you can add on de keukentafel?

Do you remember what it was called even? We just called it The Dutch Jump Dance but my guess it is not the native dance of your people
It's called jumpstyle. I found this video which is pretty good (at 1:20) https://youtu.be/aja2Wlp9OD0

Jesus those guys are amazing
So, heres the very basic version; you start with your feet apart at the distance of your hips approximately, you jump
Note: That's what I remember you do with a partner who does the same facing you. From step 5 onwards your right feet (in 6 the left feet) touch
If you're talking early 2000s I know exactly what dance you mean. That was a short but intense fad.

This became even funnier because I'm Swedish.
Naken means Nude, which Neuken is pretty close too. Kuken means "the dick", which Keuken sounds like. So that would translate to "Naked in the dick".
We could also go with Neuken sounding almost like Nuked, which would bring us "Nuked in the dick".
This is funny in so many ways with three languages mixed.
I did it all for the neuken
Mooie meisjes, met kaas!
