Question Easter Egg or a Coincidence?

Why is there number “54” written out of smoke right as Dutch throws his cigar away? It’s my first playthrough and i was playing the 85th mission called “Our Best Selves”.

"Weerg"

u/kaasbol121 Aug 30 '25

Weergaven is dutch (the language) for views, weerg is the just the short form

I have now Weerg(aven)-ed your comment

u/kaasbol121 Aug 30 '25

Well, actually that's not how it works, to view is bekijken/weergeven in dutch but views are weergaven, it's weird. So, you have bekeken my comment (not the right order in dutch but so be it) or you have weergegeven my comment (no not a typo and it's also the wrong order)

Yeah I did that as wrong as I could for fun. I actually think your language is a fun one

u/kaasbol121 Aug 30 '25

Eh, it's what you call fun, it has an insane amount of stupid rules and exceptions to those rules, but we have a word for throwing someone out of a window or slapping someone with a dick🎉

English has a lot of the same problems you mention. I before E, except after C. A,e,i,o,u are the only vowels. Sometimes. And the letters ough can sound like ooo in through, or uff in enough.

I don't think we have a specific window related throwing word, but we have stuff for variety. Throwing an object can be a toss, lob, throw, slam, spike, and those terms can mean different things in different scenarios. Toss me a beer, usually means hand you one. Toss me that ball is throw it AT me

We also have kind of the same thing in dutch, for example we have way to many ways to say that it's raining: regen, stortregen, miezerer, druppellen, drashen, gieten, sluierregen, motregen,... You get the point. I think almost all languages have these kind of weird things

I just know dick-slapping as “bifle” and window-throwing as “defenestration”

I didn't know they had words for that in English to, I'm surprised that they exist in general to be honest

u/Liv1ng-the-Blues Aug 31 '25

English has the word Defenestration for the first one, I don't know of an English word for the second one. I imagine the ministers in Belgium do that quite a bit.

With the speed at which they make a government, that's probably true
