- 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."
- Nix nootz: A devilish, mischievous person. "Our daughter is a little nix nootz."

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