In response to Idioms.. give me help (Lily)
Your teacher may be making an error concerning the expression 'Dutch treat'. Where I come from (Canada), this means going out on a date for which each person pays his/her own way--ticket, refreshments, whatever. Another expression, 'in Dutch', means 'in trouble', but nothing serious, eg. 'If you don't get your room cleaned today, you'll be in Dutch with your mother!'
