Language / Polish words that sound funny? [224]

Try barłoźyć się, to canoodle. The Poles are quite good at giving nicknames. There used to be a stern barmaid in one of the city pubs called Stalowa Podpaska, meaning Steel Jamrag.

Language / Polish words that sound funny? [224]

For some reason when I pronounced the word Wino above a booze shop the english way(which I thought was a funny name for an offy...) my friend nearly pee'd herself laughing......still baffled,something to do with a sore belly was all i got from her mime.....

£ajno means dung!

A long time ago I tried to tell a rather grand old lady, a retired Central Commitee member's wife, that I was a Northerner, and coined the word Północnik. It doesn't exist, and if it did it would mean half a chamber pot.

actually here's another one........pociąg

As funny sounding as Obciągnąć (obchongnonch), which means to give a blow job.

Life / "Letter from Poland" - very important movie to watch [51]

Also, what's this I hear about the guy who filmed the plane just after it crashed? Something like there was gunfire heard on his video, and recently he died in suspicious circumstances?

On a level with faked moon landings, Elvis living in Panama, aliens from Roswell in the White House and Camilla Parker Bowles cutting Lady Di's brake cables..

Puscidupa and klota can make people laugh too. Tresiportka too (one who shakes their kniockers). Also barłoźyć się. My ex used a (village slang) word once (about Renata Beger, who we met at a party) which means a woman who looks ok from a distance but a hag from close up. Wish I could remember it.

A Pole years ago told me never to say "Tea? Who you, yer bunny?" With good reason.

It does! But if you vocalise the final r it doesn't. Same with the surnames Pinder and Cooper. Meaning, respectively, the same body part, and turd.

Whatever the accent, the word web sounds like łeb, a horses head, and the first name Ria sounds like ryja, meaning snout. Roy can sound a bit like the Polish word for swarm, as in bees.

Chimney sounds a bit like the Polish word ciemny, meaning dark. There's also a good reason why Polish people find the English word cheaper quite funny..

Law / America takes leading investor spot in Poland [51]

He got a job at McDonalds last week, he was forced to buy a handbook for 137 Zloty (his weekly wage)

Rubbish.

Mc Donalds is considered a luxury restaurant there.

Also rubbish. The MacDonalds there tend to be newer and cleaner than in many places, but nobody, not even a villager with straw between their toes, thinks it's "a luxury restaurant".

Sheila you've been talking the same nonsense for the past half a year. McDonald's luxury restaurant in Poland? pllz, there are some really nice restaurants in Poland everyone knows McD is junk food.

Yes.

I certainly view the world in different light

Differently in what way? That accidents can happen, or that even if a planeload of VIPs die suddenly, things just carry on without much difference?

UK, Ireland / The mystery of Ireland's worst driver "Prawo Jazdy" [37]

Must be a friend of this guy:

THE Polish vacuum cleaner whose boyfriend was caught having sex with a Henry Hoover has spoken of her shame and disgust at his gay love antics.

The Miele 1600 watt cylinder model said the two had met in an electrical appliance store in Warsaw and, after a whirlwind romance, had set up home in his apartment.

Life / Searching a 'street pharmacist' in Warsaw [12]

a blunt isn't joint paper like some in Poland still think,

In PL a few places sell those ready made, to stuff with weed.

no one uses joint paper that's been out of style.

Most don't know how to - but they're somehow still the nicest.

What, they analised him?

Just the crap in the end of the pipe. Though given the fact he was staggering round pissed and stoned outside the Sheraton Hotel, perhaps they ought to have.

Don't bring those glass pipes to the States people laugh that they're crack pipes, get a real pipe or a bong.

Don't use them myself - I prefer to roll a joint. But Poles almost always use them. I invite you one day to come and see.

Interesting thing to do with drugs.

Happened to my friend. They fined him for a tiny smear in the end of a broken glass pipe that he thought he'd smoked to the end :-(

Poland is a place to be very very very cautious about illegal substances.

You get people passing joints around at the back of 'Chinatown' (if you know where I mean). It isn't a good idea to do it openly though, and if a police patrol see, they'll analise a stubbed out roach end looking for microgrammes of the stuff to prosecute about. And of course the mandatory 48 (or is it 72?) hours in a Polish police cell while they process the arrest. Not a good idea.

Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [380]

And I pointed out, correctly, that discrimination on the grounds of gender and age is illegal in the EU. Which Poland is part of. But you just want to argue. Badly.

And keep coming back for more!!

You're slowly beginning to understand, but not quite. I expect you're used to that. Show me where I said:

you said ... airlines dont do that they hire everybody

QED

now you're saying show me a ugly cabin crew member

they just hire old sea hags

ROTFL

that wrong statement you've made

What wrong statement is that? That discrimination on the basis of age or gender is illegal in Europe? That's what I said. Not that anyone expects you to understand the obvious!!

I said that I was talking about Polish (LOT) flight attendants NOT all in general.

Yes you said:

they should hire young sexy girls

Pwned, as usual.

A fat face doesn't look as good as it would if it was thin, and if you see a girl with a pretty face and notice she's a "MIDGET

Who's talking about fat faces or "midgets". Show me a "midget", whatever that is, working as cabin crew.

Don't change the subject

That is the subject, and you are as always both wrong and displaying the stupidity we have come to expect. The point is that you said that only "beautiful women" should become cabin crew. LMAO

Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [380]

short and fat it makes her look uglier doesn't it, being tall and thin brings out her full potential highlighting her attributes

We aren't talking about short and fat. Those guys/women can't become cabin crews. We're talking about facially attractive. But you seem to have got a bit confused about that.

I was talking about LOT flight attendants

I should hope so, since this thread's about LOT.
Poland joined the EU a few years after you fled - and in the EU, there has to be a very good reason to deny someone a job on the basis of arbitrary factors. Which brings us full circle, doesn't it...

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [374]

Point is that most of them did not know what they are doing !Due to biased media propaganda!

So when people vote for a party you like, they're wisely acting on an analysis of the political situation, and when they vote for a party you don't like, they're don't know what they're doing. That's very close to fascism.

And he really does keep coming back for more!

height, weight and general appearance "safety" requirements... commonly accepted idea of beauty

Are you really saying that fulfilling those requirements somehow ensures beauty or precludes ugliness?

hat's why they're having these "ugly" girls pose and represent their airlines.

Now you're contradicting yourself as usual, as a few minutes ago you yourself squeaked:

they just hire old sea hags
