Expression: Double Dutch

[NinaZara]

Hello,

Is the expression double dutch offensive if we say it to a person and is it racist?

Many thanks in advance.

The phrase 'double Dutch' isn't offensive. It's used to mean that we don't understand something someone has said or written. 'It's all Greek to me' is an equivalent expression.

Another phrase with 'dutch' is 'to go dutch', which means 'to split the expenses'.

Oh thanks Conchita!

p/s: I go Japanese all the time, if you know what I mean :wink:
