Mali - | 300 25 Mar 2008 / #34which may not be an insult necessarily.I know it doesn't have to be bad but it can have negative connotations. Its a phrase that can be used as an insult towards the way that someone eats. It doesn't bother me personally but I wouldn't consider it a neutral term either.
JustysiaS 13 | 2,239 25 Mar 2008 / #36prosiaczek is cute, nothing wrong with ityou can say "ty świnio" (you pig!) to your friend when he is being messy or not very polite during a meal or something, so it is also a joke, but ONLY among friends. and a nickname "świnia" is not cute or nice or anything positive really...
Bartolome 2 | 1,085 29 Mar 2008 / #37My dad knew one Silesian guy whose nickname was Duschwein (German for 'you pig'), for he had a custom to pointing at someone and shout 'Du Schwein !' in the heat of discussions :)
Magdalena 3 | 1,837 30 Mar 2008 / #38Nazi Germans used to call Poles "polnische Schweine" (Polish swine) and I do not think calling Polish people pigs - especially in a WW2 context as mentioned in the initial posting - is a very good idea or especially sensitive.
