Etymology of 'go dutch' So I just learned about the etymology of 'AA' from 

The origins of &quot;AA制&quot;

I wonder if anyone has a similar response for the phrase 'go dutch'.

It is hard to believe this originated from the Netherlands, seeing that it is quite commonly used in Hong Kong and Mainland China.

I first heard it in a Mainland Chinese TV drama in the English subtitles. 

Bonus points if anyone could provide me the traditional and simplified characters for 'go dutch'?

According to the legend of the Anglo-Dutch scramble for colonies and competition for the international trade market, because of the frequent conflict and dislike of the two countries, such usage appeared in English, contrary to the "generous" image of an English gentleman.
