"Dutch oven" has been gaining traction online as a new slang term

Tradition dictates that a Dutch oven is a cooking pot with an extremely tight lid. These pots are typically made of seasoned cast iron, and there are others that are made from ceramics and aluminum, if not iron.

In Dutch, the oven is called a "braadpan," which literally translates to a roasting pan. Another name used for the Dutch pot is a "sudderpan," which means simmerpan or simmering pot of some kind. Pots and pretend ovens, like the Dutch one, are used for cooking meat and vegetable dishes, as well as for making traditional stews.

These cooking pots may be called French ovens as well as Dutch. In the United Kingdom and the United States, the pots are well-known for their casserole dishes.

The Urban dictionary explains the meaning of "Dutch ovening your partner" as the action of lifting a duvet or blanket over your partner's head and trapping them in the heat of your personal essence.

The internet has been in a frenzy since the alternative meaning of the pot has gone viral. Several netizens are taking to Twitter to discuss the blanket-trapping activity of one's partner.
