You are Polish if...

29 Nov 2012 / #421

ancestry, citizenship, language, cultural/ historical awareness and "feeling Polish". Not all are necessary, but just one is a bit to little.

Four out of five, that's enough for me :)

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

That's exactly it - if you're not a religious Pole, then you are some kind of evil "destroyer of Polishness and Poland, and promoter of Western decadence" in his opinion. It's nonsense.

you have the endurance to watch your national football team every time, even though they havent won a meaningful game for over 30 years
your idea of a healthy lifestyle is szmalec, golonka, alcohol and cigarettes
you can down a bottle of wodka and still talk and walk straight
you hit things thinking they will start working again

Depends on the bottle.1l is to much for me.

Ok now I stopped believing in my "Polskość".
I hate football , I like smalec a bit but know it's unhealthy, I don't drink vodka and I know the hitting thing works only on old electric installation. shaking is more useful. Or turning off and on.

Is this about real polish people from actual Poland. Or the American wannabes with a grandfather from over there?

vodka

It's not me, its English (UK) spell-check.

Polish people in Poland are Polish and do not need to prove their "polskość" we can joke about it.

i might as well add it to the list:
you firmly believe that wodka was first fermented and distilled in poland

You forgot to mention - you are devoted fan of a discipline there is a chance a Pole can be a champion.

more like cross-country skiing, ski jumping, handball, sailing how is "strzelectwo", "rzut młotem" i "pchnięcie kulą" in English?

We didn't have synhronized swimming team in London Olympic Games , or if we did they didn't do through first round.
"rhythmic gymnastics" could be a bit, but ballet ? :P
