Dutch term or phrase: larix
Here is some more streetwise teenager talk that I can't quite decipher. I'd appreciate a translation into "Dutch" if not into English. :-)

I'll post this question four times because I need three terms: "foekie-loekie," "larix," "meeboffen," and "pizzi":

Faffie! Dat is de enige reden dat iedereen je trekt - je ziet er foekie-loekie uit, maar met je geheugen ben je best larix, en daar bof je mee, want je bent echt pizzi!

The context is two teenage girls sitting on a bed talking about their social status at school. Just the one girl speaks with this hip/street language. Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
"Je ziet er foekie-loekie uit, maar omdat je soms van die volstrekt onbegrijpelijke teksten uitkraamt ben je best larix." Here's my guess: You look fucking lucky, but because you say these incomprehensible things you're pretty crazy. (Larie = onzin).
So that's just a guess...

great


Explanation:
Vanwege de klankovereenkomst van larch en large?

Mogelijke "Nederlandse" vertaling
Ik sta paf! Dat is de enige reden dat iedereen je trekt - je ziet er foeilelijk uit, maar met zo'n geheugen steek je iedereen de loef af, en daar bof je mee, want je bent echt pislelijk!
