Double Dutch
If something is double Dutch, it is completely incomprehensible.

Situation:
"Out of this there arose, during the spring succeeding, a talk in the parish that Gabriel Oak was feathering his
nest fast".
Meaning:
If people tell you that you are feathering your own nest ,it means that you make your self rich ,especially in a way that is selfish or dishonest "mainly disapproving"
Practise:
wanting to feather their own nest fast,many merchants delight in deceiving their customers.
