The clergy?

I have absolutely no idea. Clue please :)

Once again that arrogance is on display. You just don't get that Europe is not the US. We are more reserved and we like our privacy.


So Poles should change their form of address just to suit you? Tosser.

A dance that women ask the men to do. I don't think that this is what you meant though.

Or just maybe they don't see the point in having a mindless conversation with a total stranger.


Why? I would find that intrusive.


Bizarre.


That is their problem. The arrogance of thinking they are better than anybody else.

Of course I was aware of the meaning! That's what I meant in post 1548, but I presumed you hadn't understood what I meant as you asked " What is a joke?" You could also say, " You're having me on". It means the same thing.

A wind-up is a joke or trick when someone deliberately tells you something untrue.

It's not true, it's a joke?

To say something to deliberately annoy them?

To wind them up?

In my opinion they are just more reserved with strangers or people they don't know. I would rather that than fake smiles and have a nice day crap. Personally, I think Poland Expat is just another troll on a rant.

So you're talking about a sh!tty stick or have I got it wrong?

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]


I don't know. Every stick has two ends is the same as saying there are 2 sides to a coin or 2 sides to every story.

Not much idea with just one word. You can stir things up with a stick. We would say to stir the pot but pretty sure it's not that.

I know and I have wracked my brains for one but I can't think what it is :(

No. There are a couple of coastal paths near where I live and I usually walk in the early morning to avoid people. I also go to Dartmoor National Park quite often and I tend to pick the more remote areas to walk in:

For kids to make them laugh or say something other than tomato, then the game is over. It's also a way of indirectly not answering questions which I'm guessing is the adult version.


I can't think of anything other than clingy. As in to be like a limpet.

Off-Topic / Things We Love [288]

Reading a good book with a nice cup of tea, summer and light nights, walking for miles without seeing another soul, travelling, art museums, the smell of freshly mown grass, baking cakes, Cirque du Soleil, listening to music, decent coffee with a nice slab of cake. That'll do for starters.

What context? Clingy, persistent, viscous?

Is this a special occasion as such and the phones are being collected so that everyone can actually talk to each other without distraction? A wedding or Wigilia for example. From the little I can see of clothing, the men are wearing shoes and trousers so it appears to be a formal setting. Either that or maybe teachers confiscating student phones?

Interesting. In England days of the week are always capitalized. Didn't realize they weren't in Poland.

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]


Lol. Every question is answered with the word 'tomato'.

Does this have something to do with a children's game?
