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

Women have announced a protest to be held tomorrow against delaying the debate on abortion by conservatives who make a part of the ruling gov.

One female politician told conservative Speaker Hołownia a few weeks ago to get the fekk out of there or fekk off in short.

The head of the Left Club, Anna Maria Żukowska, vulgarly referred to the words of the Speaker of the Sejm, Szymon Hołownia, regarding abortion.

On Saturday, MP Anna Maria Żukowska quoted the PAP entry regarding the speech of the Speaker of the Sejm in Tychy. "Szymon Hołownia on abortion: we need peace and patience so that when we fight for good, we do not introduce more evil," wrote PAP in a telegram on the X platform.

Anna Maria Żukowska, head of the Left Club, quoted PAP's post on social media. "GTFOH, Szymon Hołownia," she wrote. Her words caused a wave of criticism.

Life / Polish cartoons for kids [43]

be some kind of joke.

No, it is true. Bolek and Lolek fought all the time. I couldn`t bear it.

They often fight, Bolek looks down on his brother and I never liked it as a kid. :)

I see I had the same opinion in 2012. Amasing!!! :):):)

Love / Are Polish mothers-in-law monsters? [91]

your opinion on my relationship.

By relationship I meant the one you had with her/his parents, not with your partner.

Love / Are Polish mothers-in-law monsters? [91]

was living with "inl-laws" (we are not married,

So, they weren`t your in laws, but the parents of your partner. That`s a huge difference which might have had an impact on your relationship. If the latter was not so good, you can only blame yourself, not her or his parents.

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]

Polish rightist President Duda speaks like a decent patriotic Pole! Amasing!

Polish President Andrzej Duda visits Canada. On Friday in Vancouver, he attended a seminar on transatlantic security. In his speech, he pointed out that Russia's aggression against Ukraine affects the global security system. As he said, Vladimir Putin - by starting the invasion of Ukraine - destroyed the security architecture established after the Cold War.

Andrzej Duda emphasized that Poland had been predicting and warning against such a scenario for many years, because Poles know the Russians' mentality and their way of acting very well.

He pointed out that Moscow imperialism, which was born in the 16th century, had not changed much since then: its essence was to constantly expand the territory at the expense of its neighbors or reduce them to subjugation and domination over them.

In the president's opinion, Russia's policy will not change even if Putin leaves the Kremlin. - The real problem is the imperial mentality of the Russian people. And that is why we must win on the front lines. If we hope for any change in Russia, we must cause it to suffer significant military losses. Russians only know and understand the language of force, Duda said.

He pointed out that Russia is not too concerned about Western sanctions and has enough forces and resources to wage a long war of attrition. - This is one of the Kremlin's goals - to drag the entire Western world into a very long war and exhaust our societies with inflation, new waves of refugees and sudden increases in energy prices - says the president.

- This means only one thing for us, we must provide Ukraine with weapons as soon as possible that will help push the Russian occupiers out of Ukrainian lands, Duda said. - We must consistently and quickly strengthen our forces and the military potential of NATO as a whole. This is the only effective way to deter Russia, because Russia never attacks the strong, he added.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

I reject all!

Wow! This means being in total denial. I didn`t know you such fast and furious. Amasing!!! :):):)

Tortillas aren't even Polish!!

Yes, But the name of the thread with the Polish food in it never exclusively meant food which originated in Poland. It may also mean food that is made in Poland by native Poles and Polesses. Including tortillas which become Polish if a Polish monkey prepares them. Ha!!! . :):):)

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland?

Of course I wouldn`t. I am not crazy like Novi who keeps a gun in each bedroom and even sleeps with one under the pillow. That`s American paranoia which we don`t need here.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

Certain ingredients compliment each other

In case of my pawian`s ingredients, your claim is still a private theoretical belief, not based on empirical knowledge resulting from actually trying the dish. :):):)

That looks like you used up the leftovers in your fridge for the tortillas

Only chicken scraps were leftovers. The rest had been freshly prepared for the dish. :):):)

Additionally, I would say only the fermented cucumbers are 'Polish' as such

Mission Impossible part 5!!! :):):) Do you reject Polish potatoes introduced in Poland by King Sobieski in 1683?? Or lettuce introduced in Poland by Italian Queen Bona in 16th century??? Or tomatoes introduced I don`t remember when or by who but if you question their Polishness, then we shouldn`t talk about tomato soup as a Polish dish at all??? Or chicken which was already known to Poles and Polesses during the reign of the first king of Poland Boleslaw the Brave in 11th century???

You should certainly get a better grip on Polish history. hahahaha buhahahaha

PS. The only truly foreign ingredient was squid. 1 vs 5. :):):)

Language / Cult statements in the Polish language [31]

Thanks for your input but this thread isn`t only for Poles and Polesses. Foreigners who don`t know Polish might also drop in here.

That is why it would be nice if you provided translations of your suggestions.

Language / Cult statements in the Polish language [31]

I have just read that certain celebrity linguist is thinking of writing a book about 100 cult statements/sentences known to every Pole and Poless. He is looking forward to our suggestions.

His first suggestion is ALA MA KOTA - Alice has a cat, used nearly 100 years ago in one of editions of the most popular Polish primer book. I can proudly admit I also used it when attending primary school. My edition was better - it had colour illustrations.

That`s what I meant to achieve in this thread when I started it 13 years ago. Superficial foreigners judge the dishes only by looking at them, having no idea how they taste. :):):)

Sorry, but you provoked it yourself by saying sth about annoying me. I immediately recalled Milo whose main objective in being a forum poster is insulting and abusing other members. He is really sick, like Novi. :):):)

Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [103]

The first migrations of mergansers towards the Vistula River have begun in Warsaw. On Sunday, a mother and a dozen or so babies crossed the busy Czerniakowska Street. Earlier, the city guard, with the support of volunteers, stopped traffic on the route. Warsaw services appeal to residents to be careful.
