I have had a small career in Judo, and one of my teachers was Anton Geesink, the first non-Eastern world champion.

Granted, this was only one afternoon at an event organized by the Dutch Judo association.

Depending on the circumstances, I omit the latter statement.

This is spin.




Or, as it is called in English: "lying by omission". Indeed such an idiom does not exist in Dutch. Which raises interesting questions that take us into Sapir-Whorf territory..
