What does DUTCH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
In the phrase go dutch, sharing an expense so that each person pays only for themselves rather than one person covering the whole bill.
When people go dutch at a restaurant or on an outing, nobody treats anybody else; the bill is simply divided so each diner settles their own share. The phrase is thought to come from old English stereotypes about frugality dating back to a period of rivalry between England and the Netherlands, though the word carries none of that edge in modern use. Today going dutch is a neutral, practical arrangement, common among friends, coworkers or people on a first date who prefer not to owe each other anything. The related phrase dutch treat describes the same even split, an outing where everyone pays their own way.
