Dutch Glove

To receive something that looks good on the surface, but is in fact a bad thing.

This phrase has its basis in the flower of the same name, which is very beautiful, but smells terrible. The meaning of the phrase in the above definition comes from the placing of the flower into a bouquet to give someone, therefore 'slipping them the Dutch Glove".

- I totally got the Dutch Glove on that one, (after buying a car with a nice paint job, but a faulty engine)

- You just slipped them the Dutch Glove (thinks the seller to himself)

The hand can develop an involuntary symptom where it goes limp at awkward times. Those witnessing the hand going limp could/might assume the individual is gay. The remedy is to purchase a glove from a company in Amsterdam which deters the trigger action of the hand.

Poor Lou. He was talking to his boss when his Dutch Glove Trigger acted up. The boss thought he was coming onto him. He was fired and ended up working as a coat check supervisor at the Arch Cafe.
