For the last time: "tiens" is French and is more of a stoppage word. Best translation into English would be "nuff said". It could also be a sarcastic reaction to a stupid story sb tells you. My old French teacher said it loads of times when sb in my class didn't do her homework and let this be accompanied by some weird story like "the dog ate my homework".
We have polish equivalent: aha. ;)
And: if a boy and a girl walk hand in hand over street, isn't that throwing in everybody's face: "hey look at us...we are a straight couple!" It's all a matter of respect.
A little interuption here. You would be suprised to hear that even in early 90s kissing in the streets was consider by some ppl as inappropriate. When I was in high school (2000s) teachers were really ticking off all the school couples for "showing to much tenderness" on the school corridors.

Leather by Aya RL
I’m standing on the street with her, I’m standing face to face
Someone is walking by, jogging his elbow, spitting on us with his gaze
I whisper: Babe look! Civilized world!
Then I’m embracing her, we’re floating away
Strange voice can’t reach us, time goes slow
We’re floating into star abyss, Babe hum what I’m humming
Tum tum tum...
I’m standing on the street with her, laughs are all around us
Someone is walking by, jogging his elbow, spitting on Babe’s face
I say firmly: Babe look! Civilized world!
Then I’m breaking his nose, he fell but then he stood up
A hundred voices around: the one in leather is a bastard!
I’m going down, I’ve been alone today, Babe hum what I’m humming
Tum tum tum…
Then I’m embracing her, we’re floating away
Strange voice can’t reach us, time goes slow
MareGaea">What are you talking about? I just said I hardly met them. And I've met a lot of ppl in my life.
then sorry i've misunderstood you...

Isn't it gay week or something in Warsaw/Poland?

So all the Poles are coming out of the closet then :-) No sign of Torq or ironside maybe they are parading in their finest arseless chaps on a float in Warsaw today?

wtf?? I'm not gay - it's just an observation that TVN seems to put "token gays" into all its programmes - the ones I've seen, anyway!
