turlelut
I noticed this reference to Boon's characteristic use of the Flemish language: voorts werden uit respect voor Boons aversie van homogeen taalgebruik onder andere de volgende inconsequenties gehandhaafd: ‘belgie, knieen, geeischt, geinterviewd’ tegenover ‘belgië, opgeëischt, knieën, italië, sympathieën’, ‘turlelut’ versus ‘turletut’, ‘litteraire prijs’ tegenover ‘literatuur’, ‘luie hoek’ tegenover ‘luien hoek’. This then led me to Turleltut, which was apparently a 1977 French TV show.
