I used to think in Polish, then convert it to English until I left school. But once I started thinking in English and converting to Polish

Being only fluent in English I often wondered this. I asked a Polish girl and she had to pause and consider it. She then said that she thinks in Polish but speaks in English.

I understand the Polish language is one of the more difficult to master.

No they are not, they taste like chicken.

You have cabbage for breakfast, lunch and supper (some exaggeration but hey)

When your Granma always say: "eat some more. you're so thin" when you visits her (and you are 5 feet tall and weight 20 stones)

Your grandmother insists on constantly feeding you and a 'light snack' translates into a three course meal.

She also claims that your anorexic no matter what your size is.

Every election your parents (and their Polish friends) start talking about politicians and how its like communist times because this and this politician has similar policies to them (in Australia its Labour) (this ones actually quite funny, especially after theyve had a few to drink and one of their boyfriends - the only non-Polak in the group - mentions he voted for Labour... big mistake!)

Your uncle keeps trying to get you to try vodka.

Well, I guess as a Polish/Hungarian mix I was adopted into the right ethnic group because my adopted Puerto Rican/Caribbean family was always after me to eat as well. However, they drank rum and not vodka. Luckily, I had a booty that could also fit in as well, which was very important, lol.

Yeah, sure. I don't know where you took your statement that Poles steal in shops from. From your own ass probably. Go eat some bull's balls except spreading stereotypes. If you hate Poles just keep it to yourself.

Is there a shoplifting parliament here as well?

You turn Family Fortunes into a stone-faced gameshow rather than a fun show which it is meant to be. The Polish dude is no Les Dennis.

Actually, come to think of it, that's exactly how I know I'm Polish.

You're Polish if...

- You have relatives who aren't really your relatives
- You sing the same song - “100 lat” - on every occasion (weddings, birthdays, baby showers)
- You don’t feel the need to add an "s" to "pierogi" because you know the word is already plural and it annoys you when others do. However, you still add "y" to already plural english words... "chipsy", "dzinsy"

- You have an awesome accent
- You can spot Polish people like Asians can spot each other
- You were extremely surprised to learn that English weddings last hours, not days
- When you hurt yourself, you don't say "Ouch", you say, "Awwa"
- You ever played "na trzepaku", "w gume", or "w Pomidor"

Perfect!

- You claim that "Copernicus was a women" and laugh histerically
- You have lace curtains and tablecloth in the living room but vinyl tablecloth in the kitchen.
- You use grocery bags to hold garbage.
- Your car costs more than your college education
- when you're at a stranger's house, you expect their garbage can to be under the sink
- you always take off your shoes as soon as you step into someone else's house, even when they say you don’t have to

- you write 7 instead of 1
- all your friends wished they were polish because of Smigus Dingus

When someone asks you a question and if you don't know the answer you make something up so you will still sound smart...even if your answer causes the person problems like sending them to the wrong side of town.

We don't.
We steal cars from Germany instead.

</sarcasm> ;)

Yeah, those. :)

You know you're Polish when... ?

Your Mum's wardrobe always smells of mothballs. :D

Ha ha, sounds like lots of my family members. Or you always get an answer to your question, with another question. For example: Have you seen my car keys? Well, where did you leave them?
