Thanks. So I've learned. (:
I will blame the free online translator, but I guess you get
what you pay for...

Encouraged by a short lesson in Dutch grammar, I started
trying to rip the word apart:

lieve = "beloved"
heers = "gentlemen"
beest = "animal"
je    = (diminutive)

...according to the free translator that led me astray the
first time. Determined to waste even more time, I finally
came across some explanation suggesting that "lieve heer"
means "Sweet Lord", meaning "God". God's little bug, then?

You learn something new every day.

BR,
