My Grandfather use to say, when the question about our family heritage, that we were slop bucket Dutch. We took that as meaning the we were from Dutch stock but deluded by inter marriages and living the hard life in the hills of Virginia and West Virginia. Also with a little less morals than our immigrant ancestors.

"Slop bucket Dutch" refers to a derogatory term used to describe a person who pretends to be sophisticated or high-class, but their true background or behavior suggests otherwise, similar to someone pretending to be aristocratic while coming from a lower social class.

My understanding from my father of strict Dutch lineage is that after immigrating, the language got lazy and mixed with English, so poor grammar and Dutch pronunciation.
