No explanation needed, no detours: someone doesn't get it, period.
The tone is sharp, the humor dry, and the timing perfect.

The meaning of “Ge kenter genne zak van”

Literally it means: you don't understand anything .
But in Antwerp that doesn't sound angry, but rather amused.
It's what you say when someone is trying to explain something that clearly doesn't work, or when you just want to get your point across.
A sentence that is both passive-aggressive and funny, and therefore so relatable.

This shirt captures that feeling in one design: simple, honest, and straight to the point.
No frills, no unnecessary graphics. Just the words that say it all.
