Nationality idioms

If two or more people at a restaurant or pub go dutch, they all pay for themselves.

If you can’t make sense of written instructions, you say ‘It’s all Greek to me.’

If warm, dry weather continues into autumn, it’s an Indian summer.


Do you know what Dutch courage is?

Where would you see a Mexican wave?

What is Russian roulette?


Dutch courage- confidence gained from having alcoholic drink

Mexican wave- effect caused by spectators at sporting events standing up then sitting down progressively round stadium

Russian roulette- reckless ‘game’ of loading pistol with one bullet, spinning chamber and firing at one’s won head; any very high-risk action
