> In Dutch we say aardappel (earth apple; means potato) to stupid people
Same in France with "patate". Funny to notice that the more common French expression for "potato" is "pomme de terre" ("apple of earth"), just like in Dutch!
Patat in Dutch are french fries :D
Though in the south (both south NL and Flemish Belgium) they're called "friet", as in "gefrituurd" ("fries" as in "they're fried"). Still, patat is officially Dutch and according to some website 95% of the Flemish people and 100% of the Dutch people know the word.

I've never said that.
You're 20, he's 45. Or he's even more of a nerd than you.
Nah, that saying isn't nerdy, just wait for the UDP jokes...
(... which nobody gets.)
May be regional, I'm not sure. Might have picked it from in either Limburg, Noord-Brabant or Gelderland. Pretty sure though that it's fairly universal, even if it's not something lots of people say every day.
Wat een aardappel! "What a dummy!"
