"Dutch Uncle" (or aunt, or cousin, or any relation) refers to someone who is not actually a blood relation but because of strong social or affection ties is -- actually -- closer than a relative.

Double Dutch is a jump rope rhythm.

"Going Dutch" means each pays his or her own way and is in no way derogatory -- I've always assumed it is because young people in Germanic countires routinely pay their own way on dates.

Rich Hill in Seattle teaches Scots Gaelic and does a Scots Gaelic workshop at NW Folklife every year (don't know if he's ina band at the moment; his last one split up i think.) Website for the Seattle Scotthis Gaelic Society is: www.slighe.com

I will not even attempt a blue clicky thing.
