In fact, in early English society, it was seen as selfish to invite someone out toeat and not pay for their meal.The origins of the phrase “ 31 ” are a little complicated, but Steven Pincus, a historian who focuses onearly modern Europe, and Katherine Martin, a specialist in historical and contemporary lexicography, helped ustrack the complex history of this idiom.First, we have to take it back all the way to the 1600s. During the Anglo-Dutch Wars, there were multipleconflicts 32 the English and the Dutch over trade and naval power. That led to a rise in negative 33 fromthe English regarding their enemy, the Dutch: phrases like “Dutch courage,” the false courage brought on byalcoholic binges; or “Dutch reckoning,” which is a ridiculously high bill on which you’ve likely been scammed.Pincus explains that this was because the English saw the Dutch not only as a trading enemy, 34 as a peoplewith questionable morals.After the wars were over, the English were desperate to reestablish order in their society. But as Englandbecame more and more urban, with influences from different parts of Europe, norms naturally began to change insome places. Pincus says Dutch idioms continued to pop up 35 a rejection of practices that were consideredforeign. There was Dutch feast — a party in which the host got really drunk before his guests. Dutch widow — aprostitute. Doing the Dutch act — killing oneself.
