Meet Kaia, our new dog. She is a Belgian Malinois mix.
My oldest found her in a parking lot and has been unable to find her a home. Like a sucker, I have decided to adopt her. This makes dog number 4 in our family. 🤦🏻♂️
In todays #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a #Belgian far-right politician and one of the key figures of the far right party Vlaams #Belang, Filip #Dewinter (@FDW_VB). He's best-known for his ultranationalism, and for promoting authoritarian regimes like #Russia, the #CCP and #Syria.
#Belgian government gives banks the finger by providing citizens opportunity to buy bonds with more reasonable interest rates. An incentive to banks to stop screwing their milk cows.. ehh customers. EU Central bank interest rate is 4%

Can anyone help me find the real spelling for a Belgian phrase that means "a little bit of this and a little bit of that" and that sounds something like "iseh tuffin, nos tuffin, cres tuffin"?
Another way of writing how it sounds could be "estuffin, nostuffin, krestuffin" (maybe).
I played around with Dutch for "stuff" in Google Translate but didn't get anywhere.
This was a familect, so it's possible it's not a literal translation. It could be a common saying among older Belgian people or something only her dad said.
She sounded very nostalgic, and I'd love to be able to tell her what her dad was saying. 2/2
