Dutch Charity Etymology and Wine Thief Devices
The hosts explore the Dutch expression "strijkstok," which refers to money intended for charity that "sticks to the bow." They explain its origin in 17th-century markets where sticks were used to level grain. The conversation briefly shifts to "wine thieves," devices used to sample wine through a cork.
