uit den ouden doosch

Dutch

Prepositional phrase

uit den ouden doosch

  1. (humorous, archaising, neologism) deliberate misspelling of uit de oude doos

Usage notes

  • Used in informal publications as a faux-archaic form. Note that it treats doosch as masculine noun and that the -sch spelling of doos is not etymological and unattested in older texts, so it would (likely unintentionally) be ungrammatical and misspelt according to historical norms.
