I've always found joy in the humor of language, particularly with the word "Pielemuis." It's a funny word that brings smiles and laughter to those who use it. However, despite its widespread usage among my friends and family, it is not officially recognized in our Dutch dictionary (Van Dale).

"Pielemuis" is more than just a humorous term; it represents our unique way of communicating and bonding. Its exclusion from our official lexicon feels like a dismissal of our shared experiences and inside jokes. This petition seeks to change that.

While there are no concrete statistics on how many people use this term daily or weekly, anecdotal evidence suggests its popularity within certain circles. The recognition of "Pielemuis" would not only validate these personal interactions but also enrich the Dutch language by adding another layer of nuance and humor.

We urge Van Dale to consider this proposal seriously. By recognizing "Pielemuis," they would be acknowledging the evolving nature of language and how individual communities can contribute to its growth.

Please sign this petition if you believe in the power of words like "Pielemuis" - words that make us laugh, bring us together, and add color to our conversations.
