achterbakse atoomontploffing Explanation: achterbaks of gemeen of stiekem. Hangt een beetje van de rest van het verhaal af. Volgens mij in elk geval iets dat in het verborgene is voorbereid en onverwacht ten uitvoer is gebracht. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-03-09 09:34:05 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Volgens \"Dictionary of American Slang\" (Harrap-uitgever) is een \"heel\" a sneak-thief, the lowest type of petty criminal. In mijn tijd in New York heb ik ettelijke keren horen spreken over andere mensen als \"he is a low heeled bastard\". Je zit dan op conversatie niveau havenwerkers en andere verwante soorten arbeiders. |

geheim / verborgen Explanation: afgeleid van wat Youp hierboven zegt, en een beetje neutraler. Een gok. |
