Polish Swear Words

The origin of “Psia Krew” goes back to Polish Tatar wars and later to the wars with Turks. Both of those groups call all unbelievers “infidels”; we on the other hand used to call them “dogs” and their religion “Psia wiara” (The religion of a dog). Some claim it’s due to the way their language sounds to us. So the worst insult to any Pole at that time used to be “Psi synie” (son of a dog) another words “Bastard” (not just any kind of bastard, but the worst kind imaginable at that time) hence “Psia Krew” (Dogs Blood). Psia Krew=Bastard not literal translation of (Dogs Blood), hope this clarifies the meaning of the word.

Jesteś kochana=you are loved (someone very sweet) or
Jedna Kochana (Jedyna Kochana)=only one I love
Sorry to disappoint you not a swear word.

Gnoju is a classic swear word. Skurwesen is very strong. Pierdolnienta also

whats polish for cocksucker?

Lachociąg or sth like that

cheers

This thread has always been a favourite of mine.
That is because I am a BAD DONKEY.

What I really want to mention is the vocative case, my latest area of study.
What? Grammar on a thread all about being rude and offensive?
Yes.

It seems that you can call someone any number of things using the vocative, with or without the word 'Ty' beforehand.
So far, I know the following. (Any other 'Swearing Thread' afficionados might want to help by augmenting my list with their own examples):

debil > debilu (not swearing, but it is offensive)
chuj > chuju (****)
pizda > pizdo (****)
osioł > ośle - donkey

How do I, can I, add a few adjectives here?

debil > debilowaty/debilowata/debilowate or debilowy/debilowa/debilowe
chuj > chujowy/chujowa/chujowe
pizda > pizdowaty/pizdowata/pizdowate
osioł > osłowaty/osłowata/osłowate

Nice.
That's a kind of noun turning into an adjective.
Otherwise, I assume I just use something like:
jebany/jebana/jebane
pierdolony/pierdolona/pierdolone
etc.

As in 'Ty jebana pizdo!'
Although my occasional teacher never uses less than three swear-words in one go.

When I had a cold on my last holiday, one of my hosts described me not as 'chory' but as 'chujowy'.

You got it. You can say "Czuję się chujowo" (I feel chujowo).

It must be a bit odd though to qualify 'Chuju' as 'pizdowaty'.

It is time I turned round this highly memorable information and used it for the forces of good rather than evil.
Maybe not evil, but certainly naughty.

You mean "pizdowaty chuju" in one sentence?

Yes.
But I realise you can't just take any old swear-word and throw it into the mix.
I just take it as being, like in English, you take a word like ****, sprinkle a bit of grammar on it, use it with a few other words and it might just alter the meaning, whereas using the word **** would make much more sense.

I'm censoring this myself, by the way.

So, anyone read the Bluzgator? Non-stop swearing and highly vulgar. Designed to be comical but it packs a punch

Syf/burdel - f*cking mess.
Is there a single English word for this ? I could sure use it when referring to the state of my workplace.

It's not swearing, but you could call it a pigsty, a dump, a tip - a ****ing one or not.
'This place is in a (****ing) state!'

So, probably not - you just have to say what it is and decide which adjectives to qualify that with.

Oh! I've just thought of 'minging'.

Ah, pity. 'Syf' would be a good word, but no-one except of me would understand. Thanks anyway.

You could say 'Syf ucking mess.'

Ok, perhaps will try some day :)

Some contribution to the thread:
'Napierdalać' - Said when something hurts someone, basically 'boli' (hurt, ache) e.g.:

Ale mnie dzisiaj łeb* napierdala - I've got a f...ng headache today

*informal word for 'head'

I'm still wondering about this one.


Thanks.

Actually, rather than bookmarking the main page of the forum on my computer, I have bookmarked page 17 of this thread, so every time I come to the site, I get to see Krysia's latest avatar along with one of your (Bartolome's) contributions about 'Psia krew'.

Sounds a bit artificial for me. I've never come across something like that, 'chuj' is rather connected with 'jebany'.
'Piździ jak w Kieleckim na banhofie' = a Silesian saying when it's f...g cold.

Other than the last two words, I knew this one. I asked an 'expert' if piździ has anything to do with pizda.
'No.'
'Is it rude?'
'No.'
Somehow, especially as you've posted it here, I get the feeling it is at least slightly rude.
Still, I did ask someone who told me there's nothing rude about zajesbiscie/zajebista. (Have I got these two right? Any more forms of this rather positive swear-word?)

Since 'piździ' deriwes from 'pizda', which is (imo) the ultimate insult for female genitals, it's at least slightly rude. Besides saying this word in a good-mannered company would probably result in an explicit or implicit exclusion.

Zajebioza - said when you're in a state of bliss, e.g.
To przyjęcie to zajebioza - This party is f...g good.
Or just:
Zajebioza !

Napierdalać also means:

- to tell a lot of bull$shit, lies (see note below)
- to beat someone up (although "wpierdolić komuś" seems to be more frequent)

NOTE:

michałki -untrue stories, bull$hit.

michałki is not vulgar though. This noun rarely occurs in singlular form. It is derived from and is a diminunitve form of Michał. Pretty interesting, isn't it?

You could say it was a shit-hole

Not exactly one word, but if you say it in a cocky accent it sounds like one... what a shitol

:-)

If I didn't know any better, I'd assume you were taking the mick.


I knew there would be something.

Still, why would you want to use one swear-word when seven will do?

I don't agree. It would be 'pierdolić', although this word is used in a nowadays slang to express awe, when referring to someone else's story.

Because I already know these seven words, and don't know the one.

Lol... there's a funny youtube clip somewhere in cyberspace of a Polish guy ranting at someone on his mobile. He's talking in english but saying kurwa every other word! Makes my Polish friends cry with laughter

check PWN dictionary of the Polish language

So after all you agree :)

No, still referring to 'pierdolić'. E.g.:
- 'Jarek się ożenił.' ('Jarek got married')
- 'Pierdolisz !' ('Pierdolisz')


Whatever, but 'napierdalać' as 'talking crap' sounds strange to me.
