Street slang — other (everyday, places, contact, sexual)

This theme groups Dutch street-slang terms that do not fall under money, drugs, weapons or police: everyday words for places, transport, time, friends, phones and state of mind, plus a few terms with heavier connotations. Most words here (osso — house, waggie/whip — car, bika — bike, mattie/homie — friend) are ordinary in-group language without particular signal value. The urgency is ZORGELIJK (concerning) because of one term with a sexual connotation — kech/motjo (prostitute) — which, within a broader pattern, may point to sexual exploitation; the other terms on their own do not justify action.

Most terms have no independent signal value — they make the context understandable (where, with what, when, with whom). Pay particular attention to kech/motjo (prostitute): in combination with money, drug or coercion language, with older contacts, secrecy or sudden changes in behaviour, this may point to sexual exploitation. Bewegen (going somewhere) and osso (house) only take on meaning when they anchor place and movement within a concerning pattern.

In the event of signals pointing to sexual exploitation of a minor: this is acute safety — escalate immediately according to your safety protocol and involve the designated partner organisations.

• Use the everyday terms mainly to understand context, not as a signal in themselves.
• Be alert to kech/motjo within a broader pattern of coercion, money and older contacts.
• Have the conversation in an open and non-judgemental way; protect the young person's position and safety.

These meanings are never fixed. Street slang varies by young person, friendship group, region, platform and context. A term is never proof in itself, but it can be a signal when it fits within a broader pattern of language use, behaviour, posts, contacts and offline signals. Use this overview as a tool for identifying concerns, not as an instrument of proof.
