Maybe not nouns. But there are other issues with genders. Constructions with Pani to a man is probably not recommended. I guess they hear if someone is learning Polish. Once I said "Proszę Pani!" to a man by misstake, he laughed a little. :)
Cheers mate!
I'm not really aware of Polish nouns with dual gender which can mean something different or 'offensive' if used incorrectly.

Language / Nice Polish words to say to a girl [147]
It's the superlative form of piękna. So, it means "the most beautiful".
Edit: too late again... hehe.

Love / Polish Pet Names For Girls. [156]
What girls have between their legs. In the vocative grammatical case. It's cipka in the nominiative (basic) case.
Best to avoid, especially in the vocative case.
What does cipko mean in english?

There can never be to much Zywiec around. ;) Tyskie, on the other hand, is more difficult to understand why people like so much.

Life / Orphanages in Poland [82]
I don't have any statistics, but I pretty sure it's not common that Polish parents leave their children to orphanages, or on the street, to work abroad. It sounds kind of ridiculous. That they leave them to their grandparents etc. for some time is something totally different.

Life / Orphanages in Poland [82]
I am also very impressed of your admirable work.
Some of my friends actually arranged a fashion show in the Polish city where I live. From that event they managed to donate 10 000 zl to an orphanage here. It's always fun when people can contribute to a better life for poor and helpless children.
I used to come to Poland twice a year to bring truckloads of toys , books , computers , clothes , and money to a childrens home in Poland

Po polsku / Nazywam się Jade i mieszkam w Anglii. [37]
I like that it's straight forward. Some books treat you like a child or repeating the same things page after page until you feel that you read 10 pages and they all say the same. And Lody seems to learn things fast.
I would not. I think the latest book is dreadful!

Life / Gypsies or Roma: European and Polish attitudes towards [87]
There are few people who are so racist and disrespectful as the gypsies. Of course you can find some individual gypsies that are good persons. But their culture is one of the few in the world that I have no respect for at all. How they treat their own children is horrible as well.

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]
This thread shows the obvious, that different people like different kind of woman.
When I compare my preferences with my friends', we can see that it differs more from person to person then we think. Beauty is not so easy to define.

Polonia / Polish workers in Denmark [41]
It all depends on if you choose a good or bad company. I'm from Sweden, and I know that there are a lot of both good and bad Scandinavian companies that hire Polish people. The best thing is to ask other people who worked for the company how it was.
I really feel sorry for people who were treated badly when working abroad. Unfortunately there are cowards in all countries that abuse foreign workers. Normal people must show that this is not acceptable.

Love / Polish Pet Names For Girls. [156]
It's the ending of the word that makes it "a little" (for example -ko). In Polish much more things are determined by which ending being used on the word than in English. Moja means "my" (for nouns of feminine gender in the nominative case).
The words above are used as "nicknames". But in normal language if you see a small cat on the street you say "mały kot", in this case the word mały (=small) determines that it's a small cat.
