armigerous
ar·mih·jə·rəss
Latin armiger

Dutch, like its hillier cousin German, has something of a reputation as a harsh, guttural, and most of all ugly language. English may indeed roll nicer off the tongue (don’t tell my papa i said that), but its closest neighbour is still a beautiful tongue in its own right. To go along with all the Anglo-Saxon on this page, here are some of my favourite words in Dutch:

A word which means literally
desalniettemin Nevertheless… des al “of all this” + niettemin “nevertheless, not too little”
gezellig Cozy, comfortable, in that particular way that comes when, say, sitting around the sofa, drinking tea with a friend who loves and cares for you, or at a party with your best mates. from the same root as “silly”
koeienletters Big, massive, unmissable type — see “second coming type” further down the list. “cow letters”
de oerknal The Big Bang. “the ur-bang”
uitwaaien To clear one’s mind by going out for a walk in windy weather. “to blow out”

Newcastle-upon-Tyne was once a major coal-producing and -exporting city; carrying yet more coal to there would be pointless.

v. To do something utterly redundant, as if giving a gift the recipient has more than enough of.

However curious it may seem for an oil-ship to be borrowing oil on the whale-ground, and however much it may invertedly contradict the old proverb about carrying coals to Newcastle, yet sometimes such a thing really happens; and in the present case Captain Derick De Deer did indubitably conduct a lamp-feeder as Flask did declare.

Herman Melville, Moby-Dick (1851 / χνζʹ.γʹ), ch. 81
