I hate that one word of that is actual dutch and it's 'candymoustache'.

    Also, not sure if Dutch, but in Afrikaans, "tor" refers to this big-ass beetle that always scares the crap out of me, and I guess "bopakker" could mean "top packer"?

    Tor is also exactly the same in Dutch.

    Bopakker means nothing. I was just inventing Dutch sounding words without producing any Dutch. Snoepsnor is an accidental byproduct. Almost any two words can be combined in Dutch so it's not an actual word, it's just a combination of candy and moustache.

    "Pakken" means "to take" but "Bo" is not a word.
