Best wait for one of the professionals on the board to answer that - I am just a keen amateur.
I am just thinking - your "friend" - would they be able to remember a complex Polish translation in that situation - maybe best to keep it simple !
Could turn a serious session into a fit of the giggles !

Absolutely, and sometimes the damage isn't seen till later life. Psychoses is a danger but so too are anxiety disorders, depression etc etc
Smoking cannabis virtually doubles the risk of developing mental illnesses such as schizophrenia

Must admit I am not that keen on bad language either.
This forum is one of the better ones for learning the language, it would be a shame if it was out of bounds for children.
Dunno if it would work but maybe have an "adult" section ?

Looks very much like a Capercaille - wonder if its the same thing ?
If anyone is near a river in Silesia keep a look out for freshwater mussels, they are supposed to be extinct in Poland so if you see any its worth letting people know about them.

As for głuszce, is this what you mean?

Highly valued for their pearls, they are nearly extinct in mainland Europe but are still around, mostly in Ireland and Scotland
jncc.gov.uk/ProtectedSites/SACselection/species.asp?FeatureIntCode=s1029
I used to go "fishing" for them before it became illegal to do so.
Now I have read a bit more about them and realise how near extinction they are - almost feel bad about it....... if it wasn't for the pearls ;-)
I never even knew there was such a thing.

Freshwater ones are harder than farmed saltwater ones. Its also said that they have more of a lustre.
Having said that,they come in all colours mostly white, brown and black.
So would you know the difference between a fresh water pearl and a salt water one?
