Kabouter Buttplug

Dutch

Etymology

Literally, “Buttplug Gnome”, or more loosely translated as “Brownie Buttplug”. Named for the resemblance that the statue's Christmas tree bears to the sex toy; the creator has since revealed that the likeness is intentional. It is a common trope in Dutch-language fiction to give kabouters names beginning with kabouter.
