More Odd Sentences from Duolingo Dutch
Aug. 5th, 2015 02:01 pmI've been lazy, and mostly just maintaining everything golden on Duolingo, with very occasional forays into Babbel. Sentence of the day, courtesy Duolingo:
"Ik zou nooit over wapens zingen"
Of course, haven't we all, at some point, sung about weapons?
"And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting mid air"?
Or, for the more foolish and less patriotic among us, sung along with Warren Zevon:
"Send lawyers, guns and money"
I'm sure you can come up with more, like, say, this gem from very early in the 2008 presidential election, in which John McCain abused a Beach Boys refrain:

It's all well and good to say you never will sing about weapons, but honestly, good fucking luck with that.

"He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword"

"Tu oso bebe cerveza."
