dutch courage 

(n.) An alcoholic beverage had before an unpleasant task. The fact that britains' second empire and the Netherlands' first rose at the same time caused a great deal of tension between the two nations (though never real animosity like there was with France) and when they joined in temporary naval alliances they noted that dutch sailors took thier alcohol allowance just before battle, whereas the Royal Navymen drunk throughout the day.

I need some dutch courage before going down on that hairy, spotty bush!

Dutch courage 

Alcohol induced self-confidence

Getting home at 4am drunk and stinking of cheap perfume, slapping
your girlfriend on the arse and whispering "You’re next, Bitch."

Alcohol induced self-confidence, the beverage in question was gin, or genever (juniper), the main ingredient.

Dutch courage 

Its bad when a group of people made the English and French look brave in the American Revolution by letting them do all the fighting in a war for independence from European control. Its not called Dutch courage for nothing.

French guy-Your courage is such Dutch courage.
Dutch guy-Well, there was blood everywhere and I was too high to fight.
French guy-Like I said your courage is such Dutch courage.
Dutch guy-Im gonna pretend you didn't say that, I'm a lovable guy.
French guy-You have too much Dutch courage to be a lovable guy. You're a fucking coward, not a pet.
Dutch guy-You made a good point just now.

Damn a French guy told you that you're a fucking coward, that's bad.

dutch courage 

liquor, false courage from drinking liquor(this use, like many derogatory uses of dutch, comes from a time when England was at war with Holland. However, dutch also means German, which can be confusing)

Those pussys were drinking dutch courage, thinking it will make them tougher. What a bunch of sissys!

Dutch Courgette

A recreational past time involving two friends, a courgette and some marijuana. You take the courgette and put a hole in it from top to bottom. Then you put a hole at the midpoint that intersects the first hole. Pack this hole full of marijuana. The first friend takes this courgette packed with pot and insert it in their arse hole. The second friend gets into position and lights the weed. To keep the weed burning the first friend occasionally farts to provide airflow as the second friend draws in a heady breath of THC and shit

Friend 1: Oh dude I just broke my bong
Friend 2: Don't worry fam I've got you back, I've got a courgette and some lube. We can do a Dutch courgette
