Breukelen advocaat, what is the origin of you nickname? Do you speak dutch?
No, only words in English that are derived (stoop, etc.) from them, and an occasional slip into Brooklynese - which is a combination of old English, German, and Dutch accents.

I have some Dutch ancestry (from centuries ago), and I was born and raised in Brooklyn - formerly known as the "City of Churches", when Brooklyn was not considered part of New York City. Needless to say, other that listening to an occasional presentation of music in them, I do not visit churches.

Many of Brooklyn's streets still have Dutch names, and there are even a number of Dutch-built churches and buildings there.

I still live in da boro of Brooklyn. Anybody got a problem wit dat?
