shreds of paper / clothing etc.) Yes, too, but we use it in different context here in southern Poland. So, where are our farfocle ?

"farfocle" is an informal word for remains which are really unimportant and often ugly or disgusting. For example "Farfocle na dnie filiżanki" - some "farfocle at the bottom of the cup.

That`s coffee context. But quite correct. In our family, we use the word in relation to small particles/pieces of tissue in juices. Farfocle in orange juice, for instance.

Merged: Looking for the meaning of a slang word: "farfoclak". Hi all! So I have been dared to find the meaning of a word which suposedly is a slang expression particular to both Krakow and Warsaw. The word is "farfoclak". Can anyone help? Besides a pure translation, any examples for its use would be appreciated as well. As bad as it may be ;-) TIA Matt

The word is "farfoclak". It probably comes from the word farfocel which is slang. Farfocel has a few meanings, scrap, bit of stuff, strands(of thread)/wisps, fluff, fuzz, bits of stuff(in soup). I think it is either slang for a woman like laska or referring to sex or some part of her anatomy.

As far as i know it is the same as farfocel. I am not aware of any different meaning or slang. Original meaning of farfocel (XVI century): lint collected in a belly button. :)

Excellent news, indeed.

I love digging for farfocle in my belly button. It is a fascinating activity, probably because it is so rare - happens once in a few years.
