I have a very good friend from Flanders. His partner is from wallonia. He told me that the word 'poopen' is nl slang in one community for 'to have sex with' and 'to defecate' in the other. This caused much hilarity.
- markvdb 6y ago"Poepen" is nl_nl for "to defecate", and nl_be for "to have sexual intercourse".

- mjgs 6y agoI’ve noticed a lot of “oddities” between languages of neighbouring countries. I theorise that neighbouring countries, especially those that fought a lot in the past evolve these odd language-language meaning issues. Some folks just start using a word from the neighbour country’s language, but use it in their language with a totally different meaning, often chosen to be hilariously different. Then if it turns into a sort of meme, eventually it ends up in the language.
