And a whole list of funny street names

polskazachwyca.pl/top-10/smieszne-nazwy-ulic-w-polsce-poniedzialkowy-dol-i-35-innych/

Krakow
Monday Ditch (aka Blue) - the perfect street to get in a good mood at the very beginning of the week. It is a street in a ravine that once belonged to Józef Poniedziałek aka Monday. The name immediately becomes clear, right?

Kupa (turd) Street - this is the name from the very center of Krakow in Kazimierz. It comes from the Kupa synagogue located there, funded from the kahal fund called kupa

Street Krzywda (Harm) and Uśmiech (Smile) - both are located in Podgórze.

Street Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel - fairy-tale streets in Krakow are located close to each other.

Zaczarowane Koło (Enchanted Circle)- a street that, contrary to appearances, is quite straight.

Totus Tuus - in Latin: All yours. The street leading to the sanctuary in Łagiewniki referring to the famous words of St. John Paul II.

News / Ups and downs of the democratic government 2023-2027 in Poland [363]

The second round of local gov elections have corroborated the old truth - the majority of voters who live in big and medium big cities in Poland reject rightists and choose liberals. Decency and intelligence rulez!!!!

Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk said:

"The cities of Poznań, Kraków, Wrocław, Rzeszów, Toruń, Zabrze, Konin, Kielce, Jelenia Góra, Zielona Góra, Radom, Elbląg - I think we won the second round. We won't stop!" - wrote Donald Tusk on the X website.

Life / Polish women fight for their rights - manifa and other events [306]


Justyna`s song led me to another female protest song made 3 years ago. This one, created by Burakura group, is titled: Your country is ashamed of you, it criticizes Polish police sent by PIS rightist rulers against women demonstrators who fought for their rights.

This song copies the melody of a famous anticommunist song Janek Wiśniewski has fallen.

English subs!
PS. ZOMO in the lyrics means communist riot police



A truly amasing song.

Boys from the riot police and boys from BOA
Not every order has to be obeyed
It's not worth being a women's boxer
The country is ashamed of you

Listen, boy, what will I tell you today
You are not a policeman, you are a ZOMO member
Shields and batons and gas cylinders
The country is ashamed of you...

Travel / Kielce and the area - amazing Polish Pocket Knives live there [105]

Amasing! The city of Kielce in the conservative region of Swiętokrzyskie Voivodship has chosen a female liberal party politician for its mayor. The PIS rightist candidate lost.

The candidate of the Civic Coalition, Agata Wojda, defeated Marcin Stępniewski from Law and Justice in Kielce. According to the exit poll conducted by the Polish National Research Group, she received 57.8 percent support. 42.2 percent of voters voted for her rival. - I heard so often during this election campaign that Kielce is not ready for a woman to be the mayor of the city. They probably are! - Wojda was happy after the results were announced.

Yes, possible! Experiment at will!!! Photos and their descriptions we deal with here are not strict guidelines, just loose suggestions.

That`s what I meant - non-native Pole or Poless. Maf is a patriotic Pole born in the US.

News / Local elections - anyone care to comment? [75]


This incident was a bit dangerous:

- In a certain village, there was information that the current mayor, who is running for the position again, together with his deputy, transported voters in private cars to the polling station. Another candidate for mayor in this village decided to intervene and stopped the car driven by one of these men, and because the other man did not want to stop, the candidate was driven several dozen meters on the hood of the car - Sych described the situation.

- Therefore, the event had potentially serious consequences. The man who traveled on the hood was taken to the emergency room. The police confiscated the driver's driving document. It took actions under Article 498 of the Electoral Code (conducting electioneering during the election silence - ed.) and Article 86 of the Petty Offenses Code (threat to road traffic safety - ed.) - he added.

At last you like sth crispy - I still remember our old conversation about it. :):):)


True, possible. But if you eat your pancakes quickly, then they won`t have enough time to get soggy. Just a little. :):):)
Pancakes ala Hungarian or Highway Robber are completely covered with meat gravy and it is their big advantage.

That is why I generally prefer to abstain from replying to your idioms. Like Lenka. I always hope a not native Pole or Poless will do. ;):):

I first read it in the book published in 1976 but whose plot takes place in mid 1960s. An amateur reporter tried to interview a female worker in a weaving plant but she was busy with work and told him to get lost. He called her nasty names in revenge.

That was the time when big beat became popular in Poland, too, and possessing an electric guitar was a dream of many youngsters.

If oyster mushroom chunks can be seen in it, it means it was mushroom sauce. My fave. :):):)

Very unfortunate situation, indeed. Both sides have their points.

It means not to worry. Stop sweating so much, sort of.


Today people are lazy. While Feniks is an old style intellectual who loves using her brain all the time. Just like me. Very few people like that are left in the world. :(:(:(:(


Yes, it is very slow when we remember it started about 15 years ago when social media like Facebook emerged. Yet, we are still alive. Ha!!!!

We are talking about food, not politics. Another proof you have no idea whatsoever. :):):)

You cheap hypocrite! When I posted about such dishes including pics, you tore my input into pieces!!!

But it seems that you have come to your senses at last and now are copying and pasting ideas from me!!! AmaSSing!!! :):): Thanks. My education of you works. :):):)

Like a horse..... :):):) Again horse play by you..... :(:(:(

Where is your informative comment on what you are posting???
There isn`t any.
It is your primitive copy and paste as usual. :(:(:(:(

Milo, try to understand, dear impostor - either you show some true knowledge of Polish culture or I will have to carry on pointing to your total lack of Polish background.

Isn`t it simple????

Language / Should I learn Polish or she learn English? [83]


Yes, we know. Your communist apparatchik parents used their connections so you were allowed to leave Poland for the West. It was the privilege of people whom communists trusted. How do you feel as a former communist trustee??? :):):)

While I always need to introduce novelties into Polish dishes coz I am easily bored and need constant stimulus to get rid of depressive moods, especially in winter time. :):):)

Stop twisting and evading. It is useless. The milk has already spilt. You know that I am hooked on women`s rights and male discrimination of women so why are you unnerving me. ????

Language / F... off or GTFOH used in Polish contexts [14]


So why did you say women shouldn`t swear?? If you weren`t such a sick male chauvinist, you would say: neither women nor males should swear. Ha!!!

Sorry for my strong words but I have considered you a decent male so far. Was I wrong???


Give up those antiquated prejudices what suits who more or less at last. We are living in the 21st century. Not in the Victorian era anymore.

Language / F... off or GTFOH used in Polish contexts [14]

Answer this question: should males swear??

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [366]

Russia, although partly located in Europe, doesn`t possess European mentality. To most Russians Europe is an enemy. Even when the current regime ceases to control Russia, it will take decades to educate brainwashed Russian citizens to become Europeans. Herculaean job, indeed.

Language / F... off or GTFOH used in Polish contexts [14]


Don`t be like those male chauvinists who are the subject of the song. :):):) Women should do this, shouldn`t do that. It is a sick approach.
