Looking for tweets for meinheer.
ry trying to find a definition or explanation of this is like like squeezing blood from a turnip. Obviously a corruption or (Dutch?) translation of "mein Herr"; it appears all over the place as a (sometimes mock) honorific in the 19th c. in google books; I'm absolutely certain I've heard it said somewhere (Rogers & Hammerstein?), pronounced "myn-eer"; but no real definition or etymology anywhere.
