News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


It doesn't mean it's right. You present yourself as this right-wing conservative - aren't you religious? Aren't you a Catholic?


There's nothing "toxic" about me telling you that I find your behaviour towards me to be nasty, that I don't like it and that I wish you stopped it. It's normal human interaction. You wrote that you thought that your behaviour was "cute", so I told you that there's nothing "cute" about it.


And yet you still haven't answered my question - why are you behaving like that?

It doesn't matter that it is an internet forum and that on PF you can pretty much do whatever you want. I can post whatever I want about whomever I want, but I don't follow you around on PF and I don't pick on you and abuse you out of the blue. So you have a choice too.

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


No, I don't. I'm telling you that your behaviour is wrong and it's up to you what you're going to do about it.

It's you who keep telling other people to "shut up", telling them what they should or shouldn't do, so it looks like you're projecting your own behaviour on me.


No, I'm like Ukraine that has to defend itself from the delusional RuSSia all the time. You and RuSSia are both not right in the head, clearly.


Again, it's not me who has an unhealthy obsession with you - it's the other way around. You keep following me on the forum and picking on me and abusing me like some retarded school bully. Why are you doing this?

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


I'm not trying to control what you write. I'm just letting you know that your behaviour isn't "cute", it's nasty. So don't be surprised when you get "labelled" as toxic. But I can see that you clearly don't care how wrong your behaviour is. That's not normal either.


Ah, so you'd like to post your crap about me without any ramifications for yourself? Well, sorry, but it may not always work like that - I may sometimes respond in kind if I feel like it.


No, I'm not the one following you on PF, you are following me and commenting on me like some sick puppy, you weirdo. WTF is wrong with you? I'm being serious right now - don't you have a life?

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


I didn't write that to "feel better", I wanted to let you know that the way you behave towards other people is not OK.


There's nothing "biased and toxic" about "my take". It is you who keep attacking me, bullying me and commenting on me. This is not normal. This is toxic behaviour. It looks like you're almost obsessed with me or something.


Then f*ck off already and I'll have no reason to "pin labels" on you.

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


You're a f*cked up, toxic person then (no surprise there though).

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]

@Ironside, no, bullying people isn't "cute". If you seriously think it is, then you're more f*cked up than I thought.

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


That's not the point if something like that can put me down or not. The point is why do you have the need to behave like that at all? It's nasty.

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]

@Ironside, I wonder what kind of sad life you have to have in order to have such a great need to try and put down some random people on the internet like that.

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


It does, but I guess you've become so prejudiced against me that you interpreted my comment in the wrong way. That meme had the same meaning as the one in my earlier post at the end of my comment here:

https://polishforums.com/language/swear-words-139/41/#msg1927355

If you click on that meme I signed/titled it: "soembarrassing".

You could really loosen up.


There was nothing "snarky" about my comment. It was self-deprecating actually.

But you know what, I have enough of this. I'm not going to engage in any friendly or neutral exchanges with you anymore. From now on I'll just comment if I disagree with you or I won't like what you post - at least there will be no misunderstandings.

@Joker, jon357 is a dog, he has no chance with me lol

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


Oh, for God's sake, jon357... What is your effin problem... I'm starting to have really enough of your behaviour.

I decided to explain it in case you or someone else (the world doesn't revolve around you) didn't get it. It was a completely normal, neutral comment, the meme had nothing to do with you not understanding it or whatever, so there's no reason for you to be rude and assholish about it.

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


You may try, but all I can think of when I read this word is Martin Luther or a musical instrument (lutnia), so I'm not sure if it will catch on... :))


It was actually supposed to be a wordplay on Pendolino - you know... that fast train... ;D

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]

@Ironside, yes, I'm sure it wasn't about my face - people normally don't react like that when they see me ;D But he looked straight into my eyes and he must've noticed how dilated my pupils were and I guess it freaked him out lol

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


Ah, but it looks like this is a genitive of Luther ("Luther's") and not a separate, new word ("lutra").


It must be old... lol I've never heard it in my life...

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


I've never heard of a "lutra" before... 🤔 What does it mean?


Yes, that was what I wanted to convey, but today I actually came up with an idea lol
So, there's this word "pindol" which is a slang (and a rather funny) word for a penis. From this another word from the "pierniczyć" family could be derived: "pindolić". It doesn't look like this form made it to dictionaries yet, but it seems to be used sometimes in this way:



So, I thought of a word for a quickie - "pindolino" lol:

"Mam ochotę na pindolino." (I feel like having a quickie).

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


They can, of course.


Jesus, jon357... We can, however, disagree with opinions of others. Get over it.


I've heard this expression used in this way many times in American films and TV series. There's info about this also in other places, not only in that Urban Dictionary.

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


I disagree, people can be wrong in their opinions too and I have a right to disagree with someone's opinion. It's obvious that "pierdzielę" doesn't come from "piernik". It's more likely that "pierniczyć" comes from "piernik", that's all.


Well, it often comes up if I want to check some slang phrases so it seems useful to me.

But what's your point exactly? According to you the expression "knock yourself out" is never used in the English language in the way it's presented in that Urban Dictionary?

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


Indeed. Why would you have a problem with a native speaker of Polish correcting your mistake? Just calm down and relax, jon357 :)))


Great website for colloquial speech :)


"Knock yourself out" wasn't my proposition for a new Polish swearword, of course. It is an American expression, from what I understand, and it means "Go for it". And that's what I meant: "If you want to create a new Polish swearword then knock yourself out (go for it)". Do you understand now? :)

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


You seem to right now.


Listen, jon357, it was you who was wrong that "pierdzielę" comes from "piernik". I corrected you in the most delicate way I could and I see that it was enough for you anyway to start behaving like an ass again. I see this is a pattern with you and so I'm guessing it's unlikely to change. Pity.


This is what I meant:

urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=knock%20yourself%20out

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


Stop behaving like an ass :)


Knock yourself out.

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


What do you mean by that? I just wrote what those words sound similar to for me and what their linguistic root is likely to come from in my opinion.


I suppose, but the words we're discussing right now (pierniczę, pierdzielę, pieprzę, pierdolę, fanzolę, fandzolę) have a pretty established use already.

I see, jon357, that you want to start an argument with me over Polish language this time :))) God knows why.

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


This one sounds funny :), but I doubt it's being used outside of Silesia (we don't use it where I live):

zory.com.pl/i,top-10-najdziwniejszych-slow-w-gwarze-slaskiej,100,929647.html

And yes, it comes from Silesian word for "beans" :)

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


I don't know how to put it, but it sounds worse to me than "pierniczyć". Probably because it sounds similar to "pierdzieć" ("to fart" lol). It's maybe a bit stronger than "pierniczę", not more vulgar though, it's just less "elegant", if you can say that about such words lol I somehow associate it with less educated, coarser people. But "pierdolę" is still worse than "pierdzielę".


For me it looks like this:

pierniczę - piernik (gingerbread)
pierdzielę - pierdzieć (to fart)
pieprzę - pieprz (pepper)
pierdolę - pierd (a very colloquial word for "a fart")

Aaahhh, OK, now I get it, thanks! ;D


Hey, I simply didn't notice that wordplay, give me a break... :P ;)

The joke was connected to the fact that Moscow was built on swamps, apparently.

Btw, I wonder if the name of Bolotnaya Square has something to do with it? 🤔


Really? It's hard to believe - RuSSia has always been big on tea...

News / Does Poland support the idea of Slavic unity? [142]


I've seen such video. There were no convulsions though - RuSSian soldiers were alive, but clearly in such a bad state (probably suffering from frostbites) that they barely moved when the grenade was dropped from a drone and exploded in their trench. It was painful to watch.

You support this invasion though and your countrymen dying there, Bobko, so spare us this circus.


Yeah, I do wonder what's wrong with them.

Hey, it's you who's all for sending them to Ukraine and them dying there. Don't forget.


The thing is, I wasn't dressed like a bum, obviously, I was wearing a pretty elegant clothes and yet the guy was like:



;D

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


I think they're getting killed in the streets of Ukraine these days... ;P


I've never seen that either.


I've read on the news about such stuff happening sometimes, but it never happened to me, fortunately, or anyone I know.

I haven't noticed anything done about alcohol abuse problem in Poland either though. It seems the state thinks the problem will somehow resolve itself on its own, I don't know.

Btw, I have a "funny" story from Warsaw. Once I went to Warsaw to see an eye doctor. In order to check my eyes he poured something into them to make my pupils dilate. When I was coming back from the doctor this stuff still worked and I remember walking through one of those underground passages and one guy looked at me and gave me such a wide berth when passing next to me that I almost laughed ;D I guess he must've thought that I'm a junkie or something?? lol

Laugh all you want (I laughed in disbelief too at first), but that's what I was told by pro-Putin RuSSians - that RuSSia is neither Europe nor Asia. RuSSia is RuSSia. A world of its own, apparently lol

I've noticed that even when Ukrainians go to Poland, they're saying they're going to "Europe" o_O

I got used to it somewhat, but I still find it bizzare... Maybe by "Europe" the Ukrainians mean the EU? 🤔
