I had better go and learn some nice Polish instead.

Just because my flatmate has gone away this weekend, someone will have to make up for the vocabularial gap he has left behind:

Kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa, kurwa.

Multiply that by 10, and that'll do it. I have spared everyone the rest.

Would Polish-speaking people find it amusing if a person's name was Ty Shaw? From what I can tell, it means "you dog" or "you are a dog" in Polish.

People from Irleand like use polish word: WYPIERDALAĆ when they order go out from the bar (after midnight) ^^ It's stronger than spierdalać, but some people using it too often (it decrease the power of this ord)

Is that something like the 2 examples I have heard in England?

Spierdalaj - pronounced Spear Dalai (as in Dalai Lama)
Kurwa mać - either curver match or coo of a match

Okay, so with the dodgy pronunciation, that makes only one example - a workmate of mine who, like me, enjoys a bit of Polish swearing. I am sort-of the other example, but I reckon my pronunciation is better.

Further to what polski_zyd has written:
coppers, the fuzz... there are certainly more I can't think of at the moment.

babylon

Only really works if you're of Caribbean origin. "Dem Babylon after me."

Filth - should really be the filth.

Exept of those swear words, there are sentences in Polish which are also funny and a bit insulting. I mean:
- Twoja stara klaszcze u Rubika [(it is like americans Your mother...) and it mean Your mother clap on Rubiks concert (Rubik is a sacro-pop polish composer)]
or to say funny insult to young man from Poland and to entertain rest of the polish youth you can say:

when he is swinging when he walks:
- Gibasz się jak plandeka na żuku ( You are swinging like an tarpaulin on Żuk (polisz old delivery van) image here www .wpk.katowice.pl/photo/niekom/523A.jpg

Now here is a question that I have been wondering forever... My grandparents are polish, he has this slang word that he doesnt know a translation to and I kind of wonder if anyone knows what it means. I have no idea how to spell it, but it sounds like 'motchka boshka' anyone think ofany words that sound like that which would be Polish slang? Thanks for the help :)

motcha boshka=matko boska! it's something like english "o my God!"

alternThreads: - Posts: 2 Joined: Feb 24, 08 ♂	Feb 25, 08, 16:17 #745
Slawek yes, but God - male Matka Boska - female so you can also say "O mój Boże" which means literally "o my God"

Cholera actually became a swear word in Poland as the word for the disease Cholera. It was such a feared disease and so many died from it that it became a frightening word or a 'bad' word. Cholera.

Guest wrote:

'Cholera' is quite innocuous. Actually, I'd put it among the very few expletives that will not raise anyone's eyebrows when used in a cultured conversation.
The translation of "bastard" only applies to "ty cholero!", but you hear this word more often in sentences like "Cholera, I've forgotten my keys again", "Cholera, where is it? I can't find it."
A nice read anyway.

I was wondering about 'bastard' - typically a fairly light swear word these days, it is a word that isn't necessarily all that offensive. 'You bastard.' can be said in quite a joking way without causing any offense. 'Poor bastard' can even mean you feel sorry for a bad thing someone has gone through. How can this sort of swearing be translated into Polish?

osiol wrote: You bastard. We can translate it also to: 'Ty gnoju' or 'Ty gnojku'. Imho 'gnój' is a little bit stronger then 'drań'. osiol wrote: Poor bastard Imho better is: 'nędzny gnojku' or 'nędzny chamie'
