gouwe ouwe

• (uncommon normalisation) goude oude

Literally, “golden old [one]”; the replacing of -d- with -w- represents an instance of colloquial d-weakening, as in veehouwer, kouwe, and so forth.

gouwe ouwe m (plural gouwe ouwes)

1. (informal) an oldie, a beloved hit song from the past

• This form is far more common than the formally correct goude oude.
