Default Thanks Chiri, qgrande and Jostan-

I just remembered one more while thinking about the thread:

81) Crème de la crème (French)- cream of the crop meaning 'the best of the best'.

En español decimos 'la flor y nata' which is the equivalent expression of the French and English above.

Interestingly the French expression is widely used internationally in other languages and the English and Spanish equivalents I think are equally common in their own respective languages.

Quick question for qgrande or Jostan:

I have heard that quite a bit of Spanish is spoken in the Netherlands. Is that true? I would love to hear your feedback. Thanks.
