In at least one dialect of linguistiquese, "contamination" is the technical name for an unintended mixture of two different expressions ("it occured to me" and "I realized" in this instance). I've not followed your posts much lately (that thing called "real life" interfering), but I guess _onzin_ means "insanity", _kunstzinnig_ ought to mean something like "artistic", and _wisselgeld_ apparently has something to do with money. So, I'm betting my neighbours' car that the second part means something like "That's crazy! It's an artistic treasure!" But what in the seven middle volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica does _Besmettelijk O-o_ mean?
