Comments by "TheSuperappelflap" (@TheSuperappelflap) on "Why sayings about the Dutch are so weird" video.
A lot of English words related to shipbuilding and types of ships are also borrowed from Dutch. Mast, kiel, and gangplank, for example. Schooner and yacht. You could pobably go on for a while like that.

I've only ever heard "Double Dutch" as referring to "going Dutch" but instead of splitting the bill evenly, everyone only pays for their own consumption. Which is quite common in the Netherlands if you go out with friends or colleagues. Dont want to end paying up for someone's 3 course meal when you only ordered a margerita pizza!
