Listen to the following passage, “Dutch Treat”, and try to catch the key words and details, then retell them in your own words:

Dutch Treat

The phrase “Dutch Treat” can sometimes pull you out of a group of four and had an expensive diner.

Well, the waiter brings the check shortly after you have offered to pay for the diner. You look at the check and shocked at the total cost. Whew! Slowly you pick up the check, but the only other man in the group says: “Just a minute. Let me take it.”

Off course, he does not mean it, and feels safe in making the offer because you have already agreed to pay the check.. You both struggle,

weakly, to pick up the bill. You have a way out. You say, “Let’s go Dutch,” or “Dutch Treat”. And so you both find a way out of the hole you dug for yourselves.

Going Dutch or Dutch treat, simply means that everybody pays for himself. Why Dutch? Your guess is as good as mine.

As it is well known, the English and Dutch fought bitterly in the 1660s for control of the seas. At the time the English settled in the New World, their hatred for the Dutch was intense and it was shown in the times they said about them:

One expression is a “Dutch Bargain, meaning a one-sided exchange –the Dutch giving too little and asking too much. The English used the name Dutch in many other unpleasant ways. “To talk Dutch” or “Double Dutch” means to talk nonsense.
