verbraten verspillen Explanation: Van Dale: verbraten 1 (informeel) erdoor jagen, opmaken (den Gewinn verbraten = de winst erdoor jagen) 2 (informeel) uitkramen, vertellen, verkondigen (Unsinn verbraten = onzin uitkramen) Gebruik op het web suggereert: Platz verbraten = ruimte verspillen, in dit geval dan: de (beschikbare) ruimte. Of ruimte hier in de context past, is zo niet te beoordelen. |
