Dutch windmill
Holland's iconic spinner
A Dutch windmill is a traditional windmill of the type historically used in the Netherlands, characterized by a tower structure with large rotating blades and often associated with pumping water from low-lying land or grinding grain.
The term sometimes appears in contexts emphasizing picturesque or stereotypically Dutch imagery: tulip fields and Dutch windmills on the postcards.
In sexual slang, Dutch windmill refers to a specific act involving spinning or rotating motion.
