#8: Off to Never Neverland
The Netherlands is a confusing country, if you think about it. It’s called the Netherlands, but for a long time, people knew it as Holland. And then the word to describe the people who live there and the language they speak is “Dutch.”
And now, to add to the confusion, this person has pointed out that “The Netherlands” really does sound a lot like “Neverland,” and now I’m never going to be able to hear about the country without imagining Peter Pan eating stroopwafels. Which is actually a great mental image, so I’m not mad about it.
