It's not pronounced like the English "cut" but a good bit closer to sounding like "coot"

and a local insult is "cut wijf"

Funny how the first foreign words you learn are the swearing ones biggrin oh and the "f" word is not a bad word here, it's all to do with breeding and the "F" word and derivatives is from Dutch
