you see a van with PUKKA PIES on the side and you think its something to do with bestiality.

"a dog's knocking", hadn't thought of that one before, lol :)

.....you get overexcited after seeing a stork in the sky:

I know I got really excited when I saw this stork. It's located in front of a great restaurant in Warsaw :)

absolutely. and if:

you truly believe that not wearing slippers is far more likely to kill you than smoking 40 Russian-made Marlborough Red a day
you hold firmly that children can only safely eat ice cream if it has first been microwaved
you secretly believe Coca Cola is a natural vegetable drink with significant health benefits
you know for a fact that lard with fried onions, kept in an old jam jar out on the balcony, is a delicious and nutritious snack

you own an undernourished yorkshire terrier, and regularly kiss it on the mouth ...

... oh, and so much more. But don't get me started on what it is to be ENGLISH ... ; )

*laughing*

YUK!

Spot on!

I'd add that you're Polish if you believe the people getting off the tram are actually ghosts that you can pass through effortlessly, and that when on the tram you stand right in the doorway and look surprised when people want to get off.

LOL!! keep posting,you are so funny!!

and if ...

you have a home-made attachment for you vacuum cleaner for hoovering out the noses of your children

...

(I think that one deserves a line all of its own ; )

Lol, very funny posts. Please, please start on what it is to be English. I have a feeling it will be even funnier;)

... you aren't allowed out without a jumper, whatever the weather, "bo zmarzniesz" :D

You are Polish if...

you think UK means Ukraine.

...when a non-Pole pronounces your name/last name in a funny way. :)
...you choose zapiekanka over a hamburger.
...you drink vodka without coke/juice/etc.

You are Polish if.. You are a master at making Pierogi.

Your relatives leave the plastic protectors on their lampshades ( & sofas too!)

You are Polish if...

You have never left a supermarket without a few cans of beer... and your car is parked as close as possible to the entrance of the supermarket , causing a traffic jam...

Pawian, I hope you are joking about the nose-hoover ... I really do ...

And another one:

You are Polish if you become physically excited at the thought of car boot sales on rainy Sundays.

Nope, for the last few days my wife has regularly cleaned the nose of our youngest. What is strange about it? It is very useful.

You are an English girl if ...

You order a double-vodka and orange in a Polish bar.

When your guy gets drunk and throws up, you stroke his hair and tell him you love him.

Sometimes your shoes don't match your nail varnish.

Merged: What does it mean to be Polish?

This University of Buffalo site raises an interesting question on Polish ethnic/national identity. Are you Polish becasue you speak the language, hold Polish citizenship, are Catholic or know how to dance the Kujawiak? Or maybe just feel Polish? What do you think?

info-poland.buffalo.edu/classroom/roots.html

maybe a per mille of Poles knows that.


Do you suggest that a person who is not a Catholic is not Polish?

to say a lot of "kurwa" and reading your posts makes me do it a lot.

Interesting. They forgot about Chopin - it is an interesting stopy about being Polish.

Denomination had a bit of national identity clarification in the past, in places where Poles, Ukrainians and (probably) Belarusians lived and spoke mix of languages or two of them, it was Roman Catholic/ Byzantium Catholic / Orthodox difference that was the most visible.

That is what I were told by my grandma, some other people her age and priests from Roman and Byzantium Catholic Churches.

But being Catholic doesn't mean being Polish, I know some Italians and Spanish that are Catholic.

I would say for me consider other person as fellow Pole it's a mix of ancestry, citizenship, language, cultural/ historical awareness and "feeling Polish". Not all are necessary, but just one is a bit to little.

Same here.

The meaning of national and cultural identity isn't always straightforward. In Poland,some people assume I'm Polish and when I was in my home town in the UK not long ago, one of the locals asked if I was from Poland. Go figure.

The guy simply tries to arrogate Polishness to himself, in this way excluding people who are inconvinient for him and his ideology.

Same with me
