Plautdietsch word of the day: Putzendoona
Example: Even as a child, Hein had enjoyed spose. He'd saved his allowance to buy a "whoopee cushion", when he was just 10 years old. Hein decided to put it to good use when he heard that Prädja Jinta and his wife were coming for Sunday faspa. He carefully placed the inflated whoopee cushion under one of the couch cushions and waited for results. It turns out that the Jinta-shu found her way to that spot on the sofa. The results were instantaneous! Mrs. Ginter thought it came from Mr. Ginter and Prädja Jinta thought it came from his wife and responded with the famous Mennonite response, "nah"! Hein's mom smoothed over the event of the mysterious noise by bringing out the klik sandwiches and pickles. The faspa continued without any further incidents.
Definition, Putzendoona: One who enjoys practical jokes, mischief maker.
Pronounced: put-zen-dah-oo-na
