"Call me whatever you want, just don't call me late for dinner." Is that it?

To make it even more complicated. Diner is already served in Holland while you are having lunch. And if you translate the dutch name for a contra/tuba you will get something like "shoulder bass".
I don't want to teach you the Dutch way because you will be spitting out you dinner with a back throat sound.
