It's ok, for what I know lots of dutch words can have several meanings.. I think if you don't know a word for something you can just put 'lul' in its place as a filler and the person will still end up with the same message.

Kijken; to see
Lijken; to resemble (can also mean 'dead bodies', but for now it means resemble)
Uitzien als; to look like

Today I’ve tested the CUK forum, the ClientCo timesheet system, the national railway timetable and the archiving function of MS Outlook. Only CUK worked according to spec.

My dutch friend sent me a really great song called 'Trafassi - lik maar aan m'n lolly'... it's my favourite dutch song.

I think you mean 'jij ziet eruit als een lul' or 'jij lijkt op een lul', unless you mean that his eyes function in a similar fashion to a penis.

Het lijkt inderdaad meer op Afrikaans. Nu even een bierbuik kweken, een beige overhemd en een veels te korte broek aantrekken en kun je door het leven als een echte Afrikaner!

For the rest of you who only speak Double Dutch, that means 'flubble a bubble a hoopla tulip, tumble a bumble a bee'.
