Dutchman

Person from Holland

A Dutchman is a man from the Netherlands, or sometimes any person of Dutch descent.

In American English, particularly historically, Dutchman was applied loosely to Germans—hence the Pennsylvania Dutch, who are German in origin.

In woodworking and construction, a dutchman is a patch or insert used to fill a gap or cover a flaw: The carpenter put in a dutchman where the boards didn't meet.

A flying Dutchman is a legendary ghost ship doomed to sail forever.
