Dutch treat
Everyone pays separately
A Dutch treat is an outing where each person pays their own way rather than one host covering the bill: Let's make it a Dutch treat so no one feels obligated.
The phrase reflects old stereotypes about Dutch frugality.
To go Dutch means the same thing.
Despite the name, the custom is standard practice in many cultures.
