Grex: To complain, moan. Ah, quit your grexing, you have a vonderful life.
Face: Belief, religious conwiction. Praise be! Rebecca has found her face in the Lord again!
Gruntbecky: An expression of hard going. Gruntbecky! It's difficult to run in this hot sun.

Rupdawn: A massage. A good rupdawn will take the ache away.

Tired of trying to conform to traditional speech patterns, Gary offers a warm and funny celebration of the unique Dutch culture in America.
