Who cares?
I won't write down 'yes please' for sex in a Dutch CV. Sex in English can be translated in two ways in Dutch, one for the act and the other referring to your physical body.

Yea that only works in English.
You should care if it helps you find a job

I know. I should do it with others who ask for my gender identity in a certain way (because 'geslacht' is also sometimes used in that context).
'How do you feel inside, male sex or female sex?' 'I'm not slaughtered, silly!'
I can make a few other jokes that work in Dutch, but aren't even close to making any kind of sense in English.


Hi slim.

I was petting a cat and then spiders came out of it's mouth.

[HellEye]

What? that's creepy

[Michen_S]

It didn't literally happen, it's Dutch wordplay. Spiders and purring is the same word in Dutch.
Luckily I can also create Dutch wordplay that is only confusing in English, like this:

The kick stairsed me.

[HellEye]

Wow that's pretty silly.
I'll go unlock the castle in my door then.

[Michen_S]

What I said is something that won't work in Dutch because stairs and kick in that context are both the same word in Dutch. I don't think that's the case with the polish word for door and castle...

[HellEye]

137,768

But the words for lock and castle are.

[Michen_S]

Then shouldn't it be uncastling the door to my lock?

You should open the castle in your door if you want to go there but it doesn't sound as cool.

Well, that's true. Who knows what jokes we can make if we knew each other's first language... Because then, we can make jokes involving all three of the languages, making an even bigger mess.
