    Joyful words, including "queesting," which means “to allow a lover access to one’s bed for chitchat" in Dutch.http://nyer.cm/hOmbBWn

        Never heard of "kweesten". Maybe it's Middle Dutch. (of gone by times). Certainly not a word 99,9% of Dutch speakers would understand.

        Only if you are prepared to go back to the 19th century, and certainly not if you insist on spelling it that way!

        I've lived in the Netherlands for over 50 years & allowed many lovers successfully access my bed, but you are really bullshitting the public

        It is spelled "Kweesten". Obsolete, probably because lovers no longer talk in bed. Too busy with their phones.
