Ich versuche nicht, Zwietracht zwischen den Niederländern und Norwegern zu säen.
Ich fand das einfach urkomisch.
Ich lache, wenn ich mir nur vorstelle, wie diese Bedeutung zustande kam. Vielleicht haben die Wikinger ein holländisches Dorf geplündert und an dem Tag keine Beute gefunden.

As a Norwegian, I find it hilarious.
There was trade with the Dutch going back 100s of years. The Dutch valued the stone in Norway. According to Wikipedia:
During the Napoleonic Wars Flekkefjord found a new life as a smugglers port, exporting oak to the Napoleon-occupied Netherlands during the period prior to 1807. The unusual tidal condition, the local timber abundance, and a long-term relationship with the Dutch were the reasons behind Flekkefjord’s then serving as a smuggler’s headquarters. They specialized in the lucrative oak trade, the warship timber in those days. Ships could come and leave Flekkefjord at any hour of the day, without concern for the tides.
