"K*rwa"-why do young Poles find this word so cool ?

I dalej się wije i tłuszczem obrasta
I nonszalancko ogonem chlasta
Największa atrakcja Balu!
I przyśpiewuje "Komu dziś dać?
Komu dziś dać?
Komu dziś dać?''
Promieniejąca Kurwa - Mać
Kurwa - Mieć
Kurwa - Brać !

Ziemię pomierzył i głębokie morze,
Wie, jako wstają i zachodzą zorze;
Wiatrom rozumie, praktykuje komu,
A sam nie widzi, że ma kurwę w domu.

mets2redsox0: so many people 60+ who use this word, that it cannot be a generation thing. well, I've never dated anyone of that age range!, LOL!. but, I can say, with the one born in 1982, she told Never, use this word (Kurwa) when we were in Greenpoint (New York), but, she did use it all the time!. LOL!.

spiritus: I hate hearing this word and it's used so often in Poland these days. It's used indiscriminately in front of older people and kids-it's disgusting ! Primitive people who have scarce vocabulary and little to say tend to use it often. I also find it repulsive. On the other hand, it is a good and quick means of recognition when you meet somebody. A few words by him/her and you know you prefer to stay away from the guy. Switezianka: I heard so many people 60+ who use this word, that it cannot be a generation thing. Well, probably in some pathologically deranged circles. :):):):)

Why do English speakers think the word "cool" is so great?

Polonius3: Why do English speakers think the word "cool" is so great? Probably they got used to it because of the 'cool' climate we experience here LOL...... I expect, we'd say 'Hot' a lot more if the weather was better <grin> Cool stuff alright :)) :)

I've heard people of all ages and social backgrounds use this word. Some people just use it more rarely, so it makes impression they don't use it at all. This word even occurs in classic Polish poetry: Julian Tuwim: Bal w Operze (Ball in the Opera) I dalej się wije i tłuszczem obrasta I nonszalancko ogonem chlasta Największa atrakcja Balu! I przyśpiewuje "Komu dziś dać? Komu dziś dać? Komu dziś dać?'' Promieniejąca Kurwa - Mać Kurwa - Mieć Kurwa - Brać ! More or less: And she is still writhing And overgrowing with fat And lashing her tail nonchalantly, The main attraction of the Ball! And she's singing: "who wants to get in on? To get it on? To get it on?" The radiating Kurwa Mać, Kurwa - have, Kurwa - take!. common expression of anger, literally meaning "mother w.h.o.re" Jan Kochanowski "Na matematyka" (On a mathematician) Ziemię pomierzył i głębokie morze, Wie, jako wstają i zachodzą zorze; Wiatrom rozumie, praktykuje komu, A sam nie widzi, że ma kurwę w domu. He's measured the earth and the deep sea He knows how daybreak and twilight comes He understands the winds, [sorry, i don't get Renaissance Polish that well) And he cannot see he's got a w.h.o.r.e. at home.
