News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]


If there was no question of bribes and anything illegal then CBA and the prosecutor's office wouldn't be involved.


"An individual diplomat"?
According to the Polish prosecutor's office those are the Polish diplomatic posts where the visa "abnormalities" were happening: Hongkong, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, India, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the Philippines and Qatar.

And the guy who lost his job because of this scandal wasn't just any "diplomat", but the deputy Foreign Minister of Poland.

@ConstantineK, no, it's RuSSia that acts like a psycho and needs to get its ass kicked.

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]


According to this article Polish CBA started working on this case only because of the pressure from the EU:

wiadomosci.wp.pl/dymisja-wawrzyka-nowe-szczegoly-afery-wizowej-6939123699595904a

A fragment from the article:

"The media added that the visa scandal is connected to an international investigation. It's about the activity of VFS Global, a company from India, which intermediates in getting visas.

- CBA was simply forced to act. It wasn't their initiative. Our partners from the EU have proven that it was on the level of Polish consular services that the abnormalities were happening, resulting in mass give away of visas, which were allowing foreigners from countries with terrorist threat to get into the Schengen Area. - an informer unofficially revealed to the "Gazeta Wyborcza"."

Were you also uncontrollably abusing others for "fun" when you were 15? I don't think it's just "immaturity", and, anyway, he's a grown man, so even if it was true that his mind stopped developing at 15 - that wouldn't be normal. He clearly has a nasty streak in him - he enjoys abusing people just for the fun of it. This is toxic behaviour.


You wouldn't be saying this if he was abusing your daughter at school. Some people are just that - bullies. I think Iron was like that when he was younger and he didn't grow out of this.


Exactly...

Or he simply got smarter in this regard. I'm sure this invasion opened the eyes of some people.


"More"? I think we have more than enough of them all things considered. And what do you mean by "pro-RuSSian" exactly?

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


Why abusing people is "fun" for you?


No, that's not what I said and this is not what this forum is for. This forum is for talking about Poland and all things Polish and not for abusing people.


I'm actually trying to talk to him like to a normal human being, not to argue, but it looks like it's futile, because his mind is too f*cked up o_O

Giertych?


He only abandoned his pro-RuSSian and anti-Western/anti-EU views, according to this commentator:

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")
