[maveric]

[sui generis]

4. Buy everything in bulk (and cheaply) as if you're preparing for war...

and really, really do count your pennies... from my Dutch father.

[Goldeneye]

5. ...eh...you only eat these

[Left Is Write]

8. Old Dutch potato chips are the best potato chips on the planet.

Since I moved away from Minnesota, a friend sent some Old Dutch chips for me for New Year's Eve (I rarely eat chips, but I have to eat them on NYE!).

[Left Is Write]

6. Dutch cocoa!

Delicious.

And say, wasn't the little Dutch boy who saved the place from flooding a *hero*? ;)

7. They all put mayonaise on their fries

which is actually true.

[China_cat]

20. Yes it is.

Because in Dutch, ketjap is soy sauce, and there is no translation for ketchup.

I am married to a 100% Dutchman. He'd probably hit me for that because his family is in Friesland.

[da_chimperor]

23. Heh, those lovable fresians

I live in Groningen actually, so i'm quite well aquainted with them.

[China_cat]

24. My niece and her boyfriend live in Groningen

Her mother and father (my husband's brother) live in Gorredijk and until she died 3 weeks ago my mother-in-law lived in Ureterp.

My husband went to the funeral and was kind enough to think to bring me back some suikerbrood. And roggebrood and belegen kaas.

[BlueFlu]

9. "Coffee" shops... n/t

[jukes]

10. you forgot

primo dope!

[HEyHEY]

11. Sex Maniacs

HEyHEY is 1/8 dutch

[progmom]

12. I never did get that "cheap" thing

Most of my family is Dutch, I lived there for three years. Never noticed them cheaping out.

[KurtNYC]

13. I was thinking 'dutch date'

and I think almost every group has an unjustified 'cheap' stereotype.

[China_cat]

25. But in Holland

they call it an 'American' date.

[Rowdyboy]

14. Dutch oven (pot on campfire, Dutch Milk (beer) and Dutch Uncle...

someone who scolds....

I've heard several more

[Pert_UK]

38. A Dutch oven is also slang for when......

you fart in bed and then hold your partner's head under the duvet / sheets.......

:evilgrin:

P.

[Rowdyboy]

42. You're evil!

:evilgrin: I like that in a person!

[Pert_UK]

43. An exact definition, from Roget's Profanisaurus......

"Dutch oven n.

Beneath the bedclothes after someone has played ‘Reveille' on the botty bugle. "

Heh heh heh!

[youngred]

15. STONERS

who have sex with prostitutes, pretty tulips, like orange and all named van something

[nickgutierrez]

21. That's what I've heard. n/t

[Phillycat]

16. Tulips? Windmills?

[Goathead]

17. That's funny speaking of stereotypes

I ran into this woman from Holland here on the Big Island, we were both working on this organic mac nut farm, she asked me where I was from and I told her Virginia. She then said "That's in the South, right? I hear that everybody in the South are racist rednecks" I said sarcastically "My what an incredibly enlightened statement", she just looked at me with this blank look on her face, the irony was completely lost on her.

[chookie]

18. "Dutch rub" and "Dutch Cut"

Neither are pleasant. One is a deliberate abrasion of another's skin, and the other is a disfiguring hair style popular in the early 60s.

[RagingInMiami]

19. They hate Germans and they love their bicycles

Oh, you said stereo-types.

[slutticus]

22. LOL

yeah. I had a Dutch roommate once.

[progmom]

30. It's so true.

My grandparents lived through the war in Holland (my Opa was in the underground resistance), and as loving and wonderful as they are, Germans are still not to be trusted (until proven otherwise).

I lived in the south of Holland as a teen, and the big joke is that the Germans invade Holland every time there's a sunny day. As soon as the sun comes out on the weekend, the highways are jammed with Germans heading to the beach.

[SmileyBoy]

26. Rolling over for the Nazis.

OK, I'm bad, I'm sorry.:D

[Taxloss]

27. Shmoke and a pancake

From Austin Powers: Goldmember.

"There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch."

[Wapsie B]

28. Ya ain't much if ya ain't Dutch!

n/t

[tonekat]

29. The National Lampoon

did an article like this back in the 70s, I think it was called "Anti-Dutch Hate Literature"....if memory serves me correctly...

[PartyPooper]

31. Pennsylvania Dutch.

But, that really means German, doesn't it?

:D

:hi:

[JVS]

34. swiss anabaptists

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. That you're all smart, enlightened, and articulate, and a fair lot

better, on average, than America.

[democracyindanger]

33. You're tall

Freakishly so. Although, that may be a fact, not a stereotype.

[JVS]

35. It is a stereotype to think that the Durch are traditionally liberal

You guys used to be the quintessential Calvinist Hardasses. I mean, even our pilgrim puritains hung out in Holland for some time because they thought it might be a good place to be.

[KurtNYC]

36. Rembrandt

and Dutch Masters cigars

[Pert_UK]

37. They are all drug-crazed porn-makers living on houseboats....

It's true, I've been there......

"This is my partner, and also I'm very happy to say my lover, Ronald.....Ronald is cross with me because we've been having an argument about drugs. He thinks cocaine is best, I say heroin...Evening all!".



:evilgrin:

[madinmaryland]

39. Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking

[Boswells_Johnson]

40. Dutch Courage

[Tikki]

Skylar, Skyler or Skilar...it is a name of Dutch origin and it means protector or shelter.
