Smingus-Dyngus - Polish tradition

Here is how it looks like in Poland: Smigus Dyngus

Ah come on..........:) :) :)
You know I`m kiddin:)


Yeah that looks cool

Krysia, Youll love it!!!!!!:) :)

I wish I could get Bolo like that.....

Yeah, especially when it's snowing outside (I remember people - mostly guys - still were enjoying Smingus Dyngus then...).

Garden hoses work best...

this ritual is going to catch on quick in the US


I can use water balloons too.:)

No it won't, it will get outlawed along with everything else that is safely fun. Someone will complain that it is a form of "assault". It's the sad truth, one American ruins it for the rest. :(

It appears to be used for multi occasions.. Hmmmmmmm
very interesting:)


Yeah I`ll just tell the cops its Smingus- Dingus night....

as I`m being hauled away

We always did that in Poland with my brothers and sisters and cousins and neighbors. We had bottles, pails, squirt-guns whatever and we would hide on the roof, behind buildings, from windows, etc. Lasted the whole day.

Big water-fights!


Yeah, I can just see their expression when you tell them that! hahahahaha

Was that you Krysia that got me when I left my apartment on my way to church???

When I lived in NJ we waited for our neighbors, who were Polish, to drive by with their windows open and then we spray them with the hose......good laughs :)

I've heard people from the city don't like this tradition too much in Poland and they call the police... :( At least those who have cell phones (most).

Thats why we do it.....to piss them off :)

If they play nice it's no problem, but when the hooligans get out hand then it's time to call the police and watch them get dranched. LOL :)


So U enjoy pissing people off yeah??

I usually had to take a day off when I was in Poland on Smigus dyngus as it wasn't possible for me to get to the bus station dry (and I was dealing with clients so I couldn't be wet :).

Then I make them laugh. No one can resist the Polish charm. Not even my teachers. Can't tell you the number of times I've gotten out of detentions because I can woo them over. :) They love me. Teacher's I haven't had yet know my name before I get to class. Even the nice ladies in the office and lunch ladies know me.

But that's beside the point. Wouldn't you like to pour a bucket of water on some stingy people who complain too much? I sure as hell would.

I Imagine its quite a suprise.........lol

Where do you find these???

:) how lifelike....hahahahahhaahahhaa

I see that you gave me a Cubs hat...
But that cops could easily said LVPD

You have point there!!


Good one Krysia!!! Sledz, you have admit the GIRL has talent.

They don't work when wet.

and likes Smingus- Dingus too :) :)

I lived in the wieś and in the city in Poland.
The folks in the wieś are at it more. hahahahaha

I still can't figure out what Smigus-Dyngus is. What is it?

People just wet each other, basically? Why?

Yes. Because it's fun! Girls like being chased by boys and boys like being chased by the police or angry neighbours :).

Is this done on one special day or is it just anytime? If it's done on one specific day, why on that day? That's what I don't get.

It is done once a year only on Easter Monday.
