Ryba is fish, not riba. Maybe in Silesian it is. Andre andre riba riba, LOL

Andzia: Can anyone tell me the alternative meaning to "riba". I know that it means fish in Poland, but want to know if it is a slang swear word Gruba ryba literary:thick fish mean VIP "A mi to rybka" mean : i don't care about it . Literary: It is (it mean) a little fish for me. Alternatively we used to say:"a mi/mnie to lata" or "a mi/mnie to wisi".

Albo rybka, albo pipka - Either something will be successful, or not.

Bartolome: Albo rybka, albo pipka - Either something will be successful, or not. Next one: "Albo rybki, albo akwarium" - we have to make a choice-literary: "fishes or aquarium"

szkotja2007: Must admit I am not that keen on bad language either. This forum is one of the better ones for learning the language, it would be a shame if it was out of bounds for children. Dunno if it would work but maybe have an "adult" section ? The fact there are 29 pages on this subject suggest Polish people like to swear so maybe an adult section isn't such a bad idea after all.

Paddy: there are 29 pages on this subject It is one of the forum's oldest threads. It has had time to get this big.

So it's old and still being added to, eh. Sound like the subject matter is what's keeping it going. Look, I have nothing against those people who chose to use language of the sort expressed on this thread but please bare a thought for those younger, impressionable members. I am personally disappointed to learn so many Polish people are keen on this type of thing.

Paddy: I am personally disappointed to learn so many Polish people are keen on this type of thing. Poles aren't definitely an exception here. Y'know, when I came to the UK I was surprised how people who are supposed to be pals, workmates can slag off and call names each other. Sure I use some swear words, but I don't use them in such an excess as some people here.

Swearing is not just about attacking people. What do you shout when you miss the nail and twat your thumb with a hammer? It's better to insult people without too many swear-words. From my experience of Irish people, I would say they tend to swear quite a lot.

... because it shows a lack of vocabulary, intelligence, wit and understanding of the situation, and often descends into using terms that are offensive to more people than you are actually trying to offend, you gayest of the gay gays.

using swear words does not show lack of vocabulary or intelligence. i use em only when im talkin to ppl such yourself. deserve for better treating from me if u dont want to hear that. and i thought u know how intelligent i am through chats we have had. time to remove you from my msn list you gay so u wont be able to listen to me anymore cos I guess it must be pain in arse to you to talk with such stupid wyspi.

I posted that last night, but as usual, some mod decided to delete the thread. I'm reposting since it it a really good piece of linguistic material:

We have a café in Cork called BB's.. my sister asked her Polish friend at work if he liked 'BB's'... and he couldn't help but laugh and told her that it sounds something like 'bybis' or something like that which he said translates as 'd*ck' :-O lol :) is that true?? cos i NEVER heard any word like that in Polish before (hey, maybe im just very innocent lol)

Seanus: Stół pysk skurwesen, no co?, zamknij reja Good job Seanus, but allow me to correct it slightly: Stul pysk skurwysynie, no co? Zamknij ryja. :)

about the use of word "kurwa" - it means "whore", but, unfortunatelly, primitive part of Polish people use this word all the time for all reasons, even almost like a coma example - "redneck" Pollock would say: "cześć, kurwa, fajna pogoda, kurwa, no nie, kurwa?" that is closest in english to: "hi [the fuck!] nice weather [the fuck!] isnt it".

twinkles	Apr 27, 08, 17:09 #867
someplguy: the use of word "kurwa" - it means "whore", I understood the word 'kurwa' to mean 'b*tch' in English ? I never heard it being referred to as 'whore' . Are you sure you are right ?

you might seek for such 'bitches' in a kurwiarnia rather than nicer ladies in a kawiarnia :D
