Act as though your nose is bleeding (doen alsof je neus bloedt)
- Pretend you are clueless, act as though you are unaware.

Nothing on the hand (niks aan de hand) or What's on the hand? (wat is er aan de hand?)
- (resp.) Nothing's wrong/What's wrong?

- Holy shit

Stick someone behind the wallpaper (iemand achter het behang plakken)
