My English teacher told us once that he was watching TV and there was a commercial where a guy shouted: UWAGA! and he understood it as 'you fu..er'

So after a few seconds of hesitation he yelled triumphantly KRÓLEWICZKA!

the guy was ingenious indeed, and had some solid grasp of Polish I should say :) I mean it
that there was no such word in Polish just makes him creative

Good ones, foufz. There was a shop in Budapest with sth like Arucha Cipa. It turns out that it meant building supplies.

I think it was "Ruha és cipő" (Clothes and shoe), I know it is a 'classic' for Poles.

But it was not less jaw-dropping for me to see this sign in Poland: "baszta". It is "bastion" in Polish, but it means "fucked it" in Hungarian...

Much the same classic as the Italian "curva" (curve, turn). :))

That'll be it, thanks Bondi. There is apparently a village or town in Hungary called Nagikutas. It looks Hungarian, right enough :)
