Good luck explaining how funny that was

No need. It’s purely for my entertainment. In Afrikaans we say ag foeitog but it’s the Kliertje that’s precious.

Ach, foei toch is how we say it here so it's exactly the same minus the spelling, which is awesome if you ask me

The part you find precious (it is) is typical mmodern day Dutch; putting -je after a word to make it smaller I guess.

I can just barely scrape by understanding written Dutch, but I had to look "kliertje" up. So..."Störenfried" or "troublemaker", is it ?

The diminutive in Afrikaans is much the same, just -tjie

...like the "-chen" in German or "-erl" in Austro-Bavarian..
