       @grammargirl "Een beetje van dit en een beetje van dat." ? I know it doesn't look like what you wrote, but... 🤷 (Disclaimer: I spoke to my friend chatGPT about it. I couldn't help myself 😃 )

       @grammargirl Apparently the first word is "ietsje" ("a little bit" or "a trifle" of something). "Tuffin" might derive from "stoven" (stew). Between the Dutch native and another speaker on our team, that's what they came up, adding that it's probably a regional Belgian dialect. hth

       @grammargirl Maybe that's why in Mandarin they say "tree bear" (koala) and "pocket mouse" (kangaroo) :)
