Dutch Uncle
A Dutch Uncle is someone who criticises severely, and often unfairly. In the 1500s, the Dutch were both military and trading rivals of England. It was very common for the English to refer to the Dutch in derisory fashion and a surprising number of the phrases continue to be used nearly 400 years later.
