message: I made a drastic reduction of the amount of links, since the vast majority simply refer to things that similarly named, but would would certainly never be articles that could be disambiguated from one another. I don't mind compromises, but we need to keep stuff like the nick-name of Reagan and the name of Ah-nuld's Predator-character out of these articles.

replies: text: The Netherlands is in Western Europe, North-Western Europe if you like. Central Europe is quite a way from here, (Austria/Czechia etc.). North-central Europe would be Poland or so.

thread_title:  Why "Dutch"? 

message: The Wikipedia page "Dutch" is a Disambiguation Page. It is not a catch-all for all things including the word "Dutch" or associated with the term in any way.
As such, the following non directly germane content was removed this day:
:For the Peter Faiman, Ed O'Neill road film, see Dutch (film)
*Dutch cuisine
The English word Dutch derives from the Low German Dütsch or Düütsch, which shares a common etymology with German Deutsch—in both cases, an adjective formed by adding the suffix -sch to the noun Deut ("Teut", as in Teuton and Teutonic), which means "human being".  In effect, Dutch/Dütsch/Deutsch ultimately means "of human beings" or "of the people".
In actual use, the term came to refer to all the peoples associated with the Holy Roman Empire, which included the Netherlands—especially those who spoke Germanic languages. Consequently, and for several centuries, the term "Dutch" was used to indicate people and things who were Dutch, Flemish, Frisian, Saxon, Westphalian, Hanoverian, Hamburger, Luxemburger, Limburger, and so on. In short, the term referred to all continental Germanic groups.
For the most part, the American use of Dutch to mean "German" disappeared in the years following World War II, but certain terms have become classic and are still in use, such as "Dutch potato salad" and "Dutch apple pie", which are more accurately called "German potato salad" and "German apple pie".

Colloquial usage
Many colloquial terms use the word Dutch.  A rare few describe actual Dutch customs.  Some negative ones originate from prejudice caused by the Anglo-Dutch Wars, some are based on other stereotypes, and some have nothing to do with the Netherlands.  These terms include
*Going Dutch, to split the cost of a purchase, usually a meal, evenly between several parties
*Dutch courage, courage from intoxication

*"in Dutch", means you have gotten into trouble with someone.
*Dutch Nail", literally from Malay, "Paku Belanda". A proverb describing a same item being sold at expensive rate. Similar to American's "ripoff".
With few exceptions, these compound enties can be found under their own headings and thus do not need to be disambiguated.  Further, all that have their own articles can be reached via the link to articles beginning with "Dutch" at the top of the edited page.
Those which do not begin with "Dutch" - as "Going Dutch" - are reachable via their own titles directly.
Any contributor is welcome to develop a page of Dutch-related expressions.  This, however, is a Disambiguation Page and is not the place for such a catch-all, let alone uncited exposition on colloquial use of the term. 
Anyone wishing to create alternative links to topics including the term "Dutch" to help direct readers to them, such as for "Dutch painters" or "Dutch painting" to take a reader to "Dutch Golden Age painting", is welcome to create redirects to do so.  Do not add them as individual entries to this Disambiguation Page.  Thank you. Wikiuser100 (talk) 12:59, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
