I'm not an expert either, but I have never seen a combination of these letters in Polish words or grammar so far.

The word doesn't look Polish to me. Maybe you meant "bourgy"... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bourgy ...which, not being a Polish word, can be pronounced as bhoo-shee which sounds a little bit like Polish "buzi" (it can mean "kiss" as in "dać komuś buzi" meaning "give someone a kiss"). Just guessing...

Well, it doesn't sound Polish. In what context did you hear it? There's that old joke about a foreign tourist in Poland asking about words "piezdo" and "zorcy" which he heard pronounced in a sentence: "Pies dozorcy mnie pogryzł" We might be dealing with a similar situation here :) JustysiaS: pierdzi? ;D Bingo ;)

can you explain that joke in english?

TorqThreads: 65 Posts: 4,024 Joined: Apr 10, 09 MEMBER	Edited by: Torq Dec 30, 09, 19:15 / #
Well, it's about the accent and how different words can be misheard. The point is that, unless you give us a sentence or an overall context in which you heard the word, we won't be able to help you.

Torq: There's that old joke about a foreign tourist in Poland asking about words "piezdo" and "zorcy" which he heard pronounced in a sentence: "Pies dozorcy mnie pogryzł" it's like someone foreign would be asking you what the words: thejan and ogbit meant, coming from this sentence: The janitor's dog bit me. not knowing the grammar and vocabulary and just picking out what they could hear. hope i made it clear enough ;)

I think pourgy means burżuj - someone shamelessly rich.
