  1. "Als slappe was in je hand". Google translate won't work well on that hehe. Posted 7 years ago
    1. " ? ? in your/the hand"

      ...without google translate ;). What are the first two words? "Als" = A/the/if??

      1. This one is tricky to get across in english. It would literally translate as "to become soft or weak laundry". What it refers to in this context though is one person touching another in such a powerful way (usually romantically) that the other becomes defenseless, lets all guards down, and gives up control completely to the other person, in full trust.

        Bit far-fetched, but I was aiming at the moths trusting their life to a creature infinitely more powerful, you.

        And "slappe was" also means money, but I don't know why, money has so many nicknames.

        1. Lol, that is a really good one! The few words that I guessed had a totally different meaning!

          "Weak laundry" !!! Like that.
