No, "dutch uncle" is a term for taking someone aside and giving them advice. The way I've seen it, it's always implied that the advice is given in a slightly condescending manner, though other definitions apparently include being harsh and frank in order to give criticism. I've taken it out, anyhow, it was an awkward use of it.
