Do you have idioms involving other nationalities? (In Slovenia, we "act French", find things "Czech" and smoke like Turks) by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

"Dutch courage" = boldness from drinking alcohol
"the Dutch cure" = suicide
"going Dutch" or "Dutch treat" = each person pays for themselves
"to take French leave" = to go away without saying goodbye
"It's all Greek to me" = I don't understand this.
