The Extended Family Chat Watching The Netherlands vs Turkey (EuroCup Quarterfinals)
Oma: So far so great. Laat de leeuw niet in z’n hemd staan! Hup Holland, hup Me: … am I reading that right? “Let the lion not stay in his shirt”? Huh? Oma: Undershirt that is, [Kirala]! Nothing more embarrassing. Me: so, a bit like saying “let the lion not be caught with his pants down”? Oma: Well, that maybe a bit too far. Do not forget the temps in Holland are pretty biting and low.
