Want some more background?

I'll give you some: madame, vélo, peignoir, bougies, joint de culasse,
merde, miljaar, nom de dieu (nondedju), remorque, camion, camionette,
perte totale, gendarme, carroserie, moment suprême, sacoche, ...

These are just some of the words we use in daily speech. And here you
are, thinking you could "shame" me for the infleunce the French language
had on us? Oh, poor, poor, Jan.

> correct Dutch is 'trajectcontrole', (one word)

hand.
