Polish Swear Words

how do you pronounce this?

my dad, when we were younger, used to drop a word pronounced as holeta (but similar to cholera). never told us what it meant.

what does "ty chuju jebany" mean? someone taught me say it, but I want to know who it is insulting.

Was told that this was pretty bad but never then got a translation for it, Hui ci w dupe!! Any clues?

You flipping willy!

Only substitute flipping for a slightly stronger word and find a more grown-up yet more coarse thing to call the male member.
I'm just interested (ever-so-slightly) how you knew how to spell it correctly.

My babcia and mother are arguing over the meaning of something that sounds like "tsic heinsbah"... any suggestions as to a meaning?

cię jebać? - Fukc you

tsic heinsbah has something to do with being shamed or shameful

From my experience with Polish people these are the "main" swearwords that are used:

K*rwa
K*rwa mac
K*rwa masz
K*wa y*bana
Ja p*erdolę
Ja j*be

Most significant of course is K*rwa which is used as a F*ck/S*it substitute.

I'd like to know the translations of the rest or at least the ones which are unlisted in this thread.

:P

my best friend is polish and he tried to teach me some words a few years ago and some were slang or swear words. i think the one word was pronounced 'zee a bach', but i have no idea how to spell it or what it means. can somebody help me. thanks.

Can anyone directly translate pizdzielec? It would be even better if someone could give me a bit of background and some grammary stuff too. Spelling it correctly would be nice too (if I haven't already done so).

zajebać = to effin' kill someone
Eg. Zajebię cię za to ! - I f..n' kill you for that !

thanks bartolome! i think my friend taught me that so i'd know it in case i heard it when we were out one time with alot of polish speaking people. i felt stupid asking him what it meant again so thank you.

P****ielec, anyone? (I'm not going to say that again.)

everybody P****ielec

everybody *izdz*****?

My grandmother used to say (English phonetic spelling:) "Stroonge Baba" when she wanted to put a curse or hex on something. Is it like 'help me, grandmother' or something?

This has been a great thread. Thank you all for contributing.

A friend of mine told me how to say "What's up?" or "How's it Going?".
He said it was something like (Tsoh tahm) or so tam?
He's the kind of guy that likes to play tricks so I want to know if I am really saying Hello or using an explicative. Any insight would be appreciated.

sounds like słucham = I'm listening/ can I help you
co słychać = how are you/ hows it going

co tam? it's really what's up :)

huju va gurka - what is this?

I'm browsing through this topic but I can't find the answer. Are there any common swear phrases (not just words) in Polish?

The other day my colleague asked me which swearing I found most offensive in Polish - well, I don't know. Do you often say things like "F*** your (wh*re etc.) mother (etc.)" when you're really pissed off? 'Cause one day I accidentally whacked me head in something and managed to shout out like that (po węgiersku), and she went, "Wow, that sounded so long." :)

Jestem zszokowany tym co czytamn :]

Co tam? I believe this is what your looking for. It translates to whats there. But means whats happening when said with friends.

But where to insert the swear-word?

You already know the answer to this. K**** is the first word in the sentence and every second word thereafter.

I'm not sure if this is on this thread somewhere, so I apologize if it's already been answered - it's just too much to go through at midnight...

My grandmother and mother and aunts all call each other "pon-Yee" as a term of "enderment" but aparently it's supposed to translate to some swear word.

1. What's the translation?
2. How do you actually spell it?

sounds more like what is spelled in Polish as "pani" i.e. Mrs./Lady.

Normally this is not used among close family members but in some regions it used to circulate between family members who were a little further apart. In older and archaic Polish there was even a form Pani Matka (Mrs./Lady Mother) used by children when addressing or speaking of their mother.

That sounds like it might be right. I've heard my mom's oldest sister say Pani Matka before so I think you hit the nail on the head.

Thanks! :)

Can anyone tell me how to say 'This job is sh*t' or something similar in Polish?
