dutch uncle
A Dutch uncle is a term used to refer to a person who gives direct, blunt, or harsh advice or criticism, particularly to correct or educate someone, much as a stern and caring uncle might do. It is not literal and does not have to refer specifically to an individual of Dutch nationality or an actual uncle. It is more about the straight-talking and sometimes unsolicited advice or criticism given.
