Expression for something that is considered very liberal, tolerant or open minded. Originates from south-east England, and is word play: although Cuba might have the relaxed image commonly associated with the Caribean islands, its communist leadership makes it actually really restricted and stern.
1) "That is so cuban."
2) "Did you see that chick walk around without a bikini top? That's so cuban."

Something or someone from the Netherlands, a small country in North-West Europe. Because of the many conflicts and wars between England and The Republic of the Seven United Netherlands (as it was then called), 17th century English knew many expressions containing the word to describe something in a derogatory manner. Some of these expressions are still used.
Dutch widow (a prostitute).
