I found that cholera completely threw me off every time the fiance used the term, I tend to say skurwysn in general conversation and when I first heard someone who wasn't my grandparent speaking Polish and using the term I wondered why the heck they were talking about a disease.

Cholera is often strengthened and sounds like Cholera jasna! or even Psiakrew! Cholera jasna!. It was a very common old exclamation of anger, irritation, disappointment, shock.
It originated from a bad wish to inlocutor: Niech cię [jasna|cięzka] cholera weźmie! what was meant to mean:Let cholera kills you!. Very nice wish, isn't it?

Now it is considered not strong enough and is replaced by heavier words.

marqoz: Cholera is often strengthened and sounds like Cholera jasna Cholera ciemna would probably cause an instantaneous death! LOL

D.W.: kurwa mac Kurwa mać --> Kurwa jego mać Literary his mother is a whore. Used to express extreme vulgarism in general.

I know absolutely no Polish, but I have a friend who's grandpa used to always say "Sok-ra-men-ski Hoo-ba-sa-ki" Know Idea how it is spelled, but he said it was Polish, and always used it as a curse....and for a good proclamation he would say "Gloriaski" Anybody heard these?

my grandma will sometimes call someone "slotzky" pest can someone tell me what it means? also, "squatchozitto" she uses it to mean zero or nothing. I don't know if its a real word or just a slang family term..

ride_red: "Sok-ra-men-ski Hoo-ba-sa-ki" Very corrupted indeed. Sok-ra-men-ski = SAKRAMENCKI wordformed from SAKRAMENT = a sacrament, but shifted in meaning to the opposite i.e. devilish, disreputable, damned. But what the hell, Hoo-ba-sa-ki means, I have no idea.

Or better yet, come to England where there are more Polish people than trees. These days, the Poles here probably swear in English after picking up muttered insults from the Brits, directed at them. =)

One of the ultimate, almost forbidden and worse swear words are: motyla noga and kurcze pioro. Most vulgar you cannot be. Used by enlighted people too.

My friend used to say, with no reason "jebana w dupę jego mać" just when you say it quick it sounds funny and it means "his mother fucked in the ass" :)
