From the rest of the office: Well, I'm a Dutchman!... I'm a Dutchman if I do... Dutch widow...
If you mean why do so many derogatory phrases include the prefix dutch, it herkens back to the days we were in direct conflict with them and their trading empire.

To elaborate on one of the above fro Famous5: My Old Dutch.  There's an old music hall song:

 

We've been together now for forty years

And it don't seem a day too much.

There ain't a lady living in the world

as I'd swap for my dear old Dutch

 

..which derives from cockney rhyming slang;

 

Dutch is short for Duchess of Fife - Wife.
