Language / Slavic languages words similarities with Polish [240]

However Czech pronunciation doesn't sound similar to Polish when you listen to both languages.

It clearly sounds more similar to Polish than to Russian.

Love / Are Polish men handsome to you? [182]

Saying things like: a typical ugly Polish s**t-face. :'(Hhmmm....I think it's time for me to have new friends.

Indeed, your friends are jealous or racist or both, you should change them.

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

You say that's "one theory" but frankly a laughable one.

Yet you have no other theory that could make any sense.

At least we know what happened to Martin Bormann now...

Whatever that has to do with the discussion other than you lack historical knowledge, Martin Bormann died in 1945 and never been to USA.

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

Briefly saying: The nazi Germans who escaped to USA after second world war was finished were quite brainwashed with Anti-Polish and Anti-Jewish propaganda and after few years when they started feeling comfortable and learned English they started with the Polish and Jewish jokes which are in many cases the same. That is one theory and whether it's truth or not it's not up to you to decide because you lack elementary knowledge about it as you already demonstrated.

Do you know many jokes in English made by Germans?

No but maybe there was no anti English propaganda during the times of nazi Germany?

I know abstract thinking doesn't come easily to you

I'm actually an abstract thinker so you're wrong again.

however I wonder if you've ever noticed that those jokes tend to be universal ones; for many years and in many places about many groups.

Yes, I did notice but that's not what I'm asking.

Any Polish jokes made up by the group you mention would doubtless not be in English.

Why not? Do you have your own theory of the Polish jokes genesis?

Why would you think "the Germans" made up U.S. Polish jokes (in English!) and why?

Well, the other theory says that it Jews who made up those jokes, in my opinion Germans did it and why in English? Because we talk about certain Germans who emigrated to USA after second world war.

Work / What would be a good salary for an MBA graduate in Poland? [27]

Speaks fluent Polish.

Knowing language would be a big advantage but experience is important and you mention nothing about it.

Originally from Eastern Europe (not Poland)

Yes, we know that Poland is not in Eastern Europe.

Language / Why is the Polish language so difficult? [309]

A lot of Polish people think they speak this language properly, even though they often make mistakes...

Interesting discovery but that applies to every language and every person in the World.

Language / Busha and JaJa [140]

You can't, because it very simply is not a Polish word.

Plenty of Poles calling their grandmothers like that in USA

Utterly wrong, as usual. The 'Prisoners of' claim is backronym. Pom is actually evolved rhyming slang, it comes from Jimmy Grant: immigrant.

Disagreeing just for the sake of arguing, as usual. Not only you can't speak Polish but also have no clue about Australian slang.

Language / Busha and JaJa [140]

American. It certainly isn't a Polish word and never has been.

Is it? Show me one American without Polish heritage who calls his grandmother busha.

In Oz Brits are called pommies BTW.)

Or simply Poms - Prisoners of her Majesty (Wolf Creek 2 is one of my favorite films).

Language / Busha and JaJa [140]

For the benefit of those expat PF-ers who for some unknown reason are particularly annoiyed by the PolAm term busia

We have already established that it is some Polish American slang that most likely started on the other side of the pond. No point digging it any more imo.

in a dinner sense, I wasn't being vulgar

Nobody would expect you was.

Genealogy / Why are some Polish people dark complected, and others very light [511]

Dark or light skin is an irrelevance

You are the only one person here who claims that the racial differences are only about the skin color. You use your brain to think not your skin so obviously the skin doesn't matter in this case.
