This dictionary of slang and common phrases is a real joy for any Polish native speaker :) Specially for those who stay longer time abroad and wouldn’t witness the newest development of the language.

There are a number of very good dictionaries written on the topic of slang and bad language.

my favorite is: bezel (the dictionary explains: somebody who appears not invited to a party but come out to be a star of it)

I tried it on google and found a example of it:

"Hunyock" translation? My Polish mother would call a person a "hunyock" but was not sure of the meaning. It was not a compliment, but not as bad as a swear-word. Any idea of the meaning and spelling for this word?

it's like an affectionate "bye bye" used mostly with friends and loved ones

Does anyone know what pipa means!! It's obviously some kind of slang / joke that my BF is having with me. So far I can understand his jokes, but this one has got me!! He won't out fox the fox - he, he ;0)

it means "a pussy", pipa/pipka/cipa/cipka are just nicknames for pussy and can all be used as an insul too - then it's a substitute for "bitch".

Can anyone think of any retaliation material? I don't want to cause upset or offence to my kochanie, but a little joking mockery, afterall he's just called me a 'pussy' - he, he!!

hmm, I mean, "pipa" is a really rarely used word.. and I could see it used between a couple, but it's still strange to call somebody like that, especially in the lovey dovey sweet atmosphere.. it just doesn't fit. Though, it could be used in some chaffy jokingly manner..

It is just us playing a little game really, so definately a joke (albeit rather strange - but then again, we probably are strange!)

which means?

it has a couple of meanings

originally fujarka is flute/playing pipe (?)

then secondary meanings are (with fujara rather than fujarka):

- a person of less than pertect witts (or naive, not wise enough, used especially when someone misses his opportunities) - it does not mean that the person is dumb - there are other words to describe it in Polish

- a male organ (from the flute/pipe notion)

the ambiguity creates the humour factor here ;)

Ok chaps took your advice, and got a response that I cannot get. It's obviously meant as a joke :-

zajebiscie a ty

Any suggestions?
