Dutch. RFV-sense of "firm, impressive", distinct from "fashionable, flashy". Not found in the dictionaries I checked. Most results on Google Books are clearly in the latter sense. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 10:14, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- Not found, but I see the term used as a noun in the expression – presumably idiom – de blits maken: [1], [2], [3] In the last cite it translates English (to carry as) a badge (for one’s peers). --Lambiam 23:01, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, it exists as a noun; it relates to the uncontested adjective sense "fashionable". De blits maken means "to be fashionable, to make a fashionable impression", there are also the expressions de blits uithangen and colloquially de blits zijn (maybe not durably attested) that are more or less synonyms. I'm not sure how it should be lemmatised.
