I never heard of it either! but I live in America and don't know any Dutch/Flemish/French

More from German:
"Das ist mir X" = "It is X to me,"
where X = banane, brot, bumbel, bums, egal, gleich, latte, pisse, relativ, schnuppe, schnurz, schwanz
(banana, bread, booger, fuck, equal, same, boner/slat, piss, relative, meteor/snuff, ?, tail/dick)
