Cult statements in the Polish language

I have just read that certain celebrity linguist is thinking of writing a book about 100 cult statements/sentences known to every Pole and Poless. He is looking forward to our suggestions.

His first suggestion is ALA MA KOTA - Alice has a cat, used nearly 100 years ago in one of editions of the most popular Polish primer book. I can proudly admit I also used it when attending primary school. My edition was better - it had colour illustrations.

HWDP

It's ChWDP

Chcę Wstąpić Do Policji ;)

Chyba wyjechać do Polski.

Thanks for your input but this thread isn`t only for Poles and Polesses. Foreigners who don`t know Polish might also drop in here.

That is why it would be nice if you provided translations of your suggestions.

What about TKM?

Although I'm not sure if young people know it so well....

Nie chcem ale muszem?

Polak potrafi?

I don't think so........


Politicians like this....

Guys, stop polluting this thread with untranslated Polish sentences. I already told you. Mind our foreigners.

Love that one.

Jestem za a nawet przeciw. ( I'm in favour and even against)

Jestem kobieta pracująca. Żadnej pracy się nie boje (I'm a working women. I'm not scared of any work)

Hehe.

I've seen that often enough but far more often HWDP especially 20-30 years ago in Warsaw. It was written everywhere; you couldn't avoid it. It was something that stood out when I arrived.

Back when it was most heavily used in graffiti, the spelling with samo h (plain h) was used more or less 100% of the time.

The first time I say the version with 'ch' in print it looked wrong and awkward....

What about

Mam to w dvpie! (I have it in my @ss = I don't give a sh!t)

previous proposals by me (with translations)

Nie chcem ale muszem? (I don't wanna but I gotta = I don't want to, but I have to)

Polak potrafi? (A Pole can! or more freel Poles can get the job done! or Poles get it done!) slogan from Gierek times

teraz kurvva my! (It's _our_ fvkking turn now!)

śpiewać każdy może (anyone can sing) iconic song from 1977 performed by non-singer Jerzy Stuhr

widzę ciemność! (I see dark) from the iconic 1983 sci fi comedy Sex-mission

Einstein była kobietą! (Einstein was a woman!) from the same movie

Niemcy mnie biją! (Germans are beating me up! by former politician Jan Rokita during a disagreement with staff on a Lufthansa flight)

And some classics by "fachowcy":

Wedle winkla, wedle piona, a robota spierdolona (With a plumb line, with a square, and the job's botched anyway).

...and the same guy would also say: w moim fachu nie ma strachu (in my trade there's no fear).

:)

Edit: and, of course, the immortal "Uuuu, panie, a kto to panu tak spierdolił?". :D
