Yes Robin it is.
It translates: "spending time in trouble". ;)

But it doesn't have anything to do with where you live.

Going 'dutch' also means both the man and the woman pay their own way on a date, etc.

I thought that going dutch much more ment..Giving your date a bunch of tulip flowers wearing your wooden shoes and take her to a restaurant where she will pay not her own way..but she is so emancipated that she will pay both ways  ;D

Well, are there any Dutch on our forum?  Don't be shy- post and let us know!!

Double-dutch jumproping should be in the Olympics.  It is awesome!!  And of course my favorite is DOUBLE DUTCH CHOCOLATE :D

My ancestors lived in Holland a couple of generations before coming to the U.S.


I went to Holland once back in the 70's.  Yikes, I loved it, but too many "hippies" from America over there!!
