Definition of âDutchmanâ - English Dictionary In 1690, Dutchman Cornelius van Drebbel invented the first moving undersea submarine. Do not call a German a Dutchman. I hardly ever knew a mean Dutchman. I must say the pleasure of meeting was more on the Dutchman's side than on the Englishman's. It is, however, in no sense Dutch: the girl is not Dutch, the painting is Dutch only because it is the work of a Dutchman. Now you see what you get by taking a fancy to a Dutchman.

We are told that the Romans built Hadrian's Wall to keep out the Picts and the Scots. But that is nonsense! The Scots were still in Ireland when work began on Hadrian's Wall in AD 122. The Scots didn't leave Ireland and settle in Argyll until AD 500 - long after the Romans had all gone home! The Picts were finally defeated in AD 840 by the Irish-Scot, Kenneth Mac Alpin and then Pictland became Scotland.

ALL ABOUT HINDUISM No True Scotsman is only possible when there is no explicit definition of a Scotsman. That is to say, you can only agree on what a Scotsman is when you both know one another's definitions explicitly, and when they match. When the definition is not made explicit, the fallacy of ambiguity is committed. This may lead to the No True Scotsman fallacy. This doesn't depend on anything else, and it applies to any case of belonging to a particular group.
