    Actually, the way his name is pronounced in Dutch sounds like you’re about to spit out something that was stuck in the back of your throat.

    Dutch here: Joke doesn’t work in Dutch.

    Some info on Dutch words:

    • In literal translation we call vans something like mini-bus or order-bus (“busje” or “bestel bus” … probably shipping related)
    • “van” is pronouned as 1 with a v (‘v-one’)
    • Gogh doesn’t sound anything like “go”
