uit den ouden doosch

Dutch edit

Prepositional phrase edit

uit den ouden doosch

  1. (humorous, archaising, neologism) Deliberate misspelling of uit de oude doos.

Usage notes edit

  • Used in informal publications as a faux-archaic form. Note that it treats doosch as masculine noun and that the -sch spelling of doos is not etymological and unattested in older texts, so it would (likely unintentionally) be ungrammatical and misspelt according to historical norms.
