Dutch

How many times did I have (and will have) to explain here in Japan that that Holland (North and South) are provinces in the Netherlands, that Dutch is not Deutsch, that we don’t sell heroin in school cafeteria’s and how about the wisdom below?
. Double Dutch= speaking inscrutable gibberish,
. Dutch comfort= cold comfort,
. Dutch concert= pandemonium,
. Dutch courage= the courage of drink,
. Dutch crossing= crossing the street slant wise,
. Dutch treat= each pays for their own expenses,
. Going Dutch= sharing the bill,
. Dutch fuck= lighting a cigarette with another,
. Dutch Uncle= someone who criticises or rebukes you with the frankness of a relative,
. Dutch Metal=� an alloy of copper and zinc used as a substitute for gold foil,
. Dutch widow =prostitute,
. Dutch wife =inflatable love doll,

Ah! The joys of living abroad.
