The 'Dam, A'dam, A*dam

Ok.. am I crazy or are people really refering to Amsterdam as the 'dam? If so, it's really really confusing (not to mention very very touristy), because when locals use that term it refer solely to the Dam square (with the white dildo-ish monument on it and the palace at the other side).. if Dutch people abbreviate Amsterdam (and this is only in writing) it's A'dam or A*dam (since star = ster in Dutch.. just think the 'm' in there somewhere ).

So.. ok folks.. fill me in.. it's confusing.. what do you people mean when you say The 'Dam?

 

The Dam is a reference to Amsterdam when I use it. Touristy as it may be. A'Dam is another abbreviation I've used. Your points are well taken though.

Sorry for any confusion.

 

I usually can't get that name out of my mouth, so I say 020.

 

put it on a t-shirt and sell it

 

There are already numerous shirts about it so I probably won't make any profit

 

and for you as an amsterdam lover you should try to get one of Euromasters' songs

 

are they from rotterdam or something?

 

yes.

 

Figures

For the non dutch people... Rotterdam and Amsterdam don't get along very well Manchester - Chelsea sorta thing.. or sth.. I dunno.. tough guys and soccer.. whatever..

 

its too bad those dam people cant get along
