Oh wow, I've encountered a lot of words in English/Czech that are "false friends" but it's too far away gramatically to construct similar sounding entire sentences. That's brilliant you can do it with English and Dutch :)
Also I wonder if there's a connection between trousers being "broek" in Dutch and "breeks" in Scots.
