Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation

I'm sure Polish people are just dying inside waiting for him to show up and lecture them in English about how to be Polish...

That is not a problem, but the fact that his post here is more about the US than about issues that are important in te Polish society. I guess he wants all the best for Poland and Poles and that is enough, not need to bully him, there are worse than him on this forum.

Which is harmful to the environment coz when such a person dies and decomposes, all this plastic will go into the ground and stay there for centuries or if cremation is used, it will pollute the air. This way or another - damage to our planet.

Hey, all Plastic Poles and Polesses, think of protecting this planet before you pollute it with your plastic!


No, he doesn`t. He wants to deprive Poles and Polesses of kebab bars!!!!
Down with plastic Poles who fight against kebabs coz their next crusade will be other "foreign" dishes in the Polish cuisine like herring ala Japanese or carp ala Jewish !!!!

Ironside takes most of his arguments ( I hesitate to call them facts) about Poland from the ceiling. What does this idiom mean?

Well I'm here now.


Is it similar to plucking something out of the air? Something said without much thought being given to it?

yes, you are but where were you when I needed you so much for the contact with the most intelligent person I know online???? It was really unfair of you to bereave me like that! .


Exactly!!! How do you know Iron so well?????

I actually got tired of reading all the arguments on here and the return of a couple of cockroaches was off-putting too.


Hej!! Don't involve me in your arguments!!!

Are you crying because you are unable to win ANY argument with me? all you do is a smear campaign and aspersions that is a weapon of a coward and a cad. lol!

You that is a total piffle, duby smalone, farmazony ...

Sorry, don`t mind, I was only checking your intelligence after that break you had taken. :):):


Wonderfully old Polish which reminds me of the times 40-30 years ago. Thanks. That`s the Polish you remember from before leaving Poland for 30 years.


No, laughing all the time. :):):)

To put a stick into an anthill - what does it mean?

It means the opposite of letting sleeping dogs lie.

Basically opening a can of worms.

Yes!!!

What context is peppery mostly used in???

When you don't like something and/or are angry?

example (taken randomly from google)

" Pieprzony chodnik!- krzyknęła przewracając się o wystającą płytę."

"Effin' sidewalk!" she yelled stumbling over a slab that was sticking out"

I.e a euphemism for pierdolony.

Lots of such in Polish.

Sorry, guys, that`s not what I meant. I said peppery, not peppered!

Pieprzowy?

Exciting, colourful, spicy, with variety

The problem is figuring which 'peppery' you mean...

pieprzowy? then gaz pieprzowy (Pepper spray)

pieprzny? dirty, ribald (as in dirty story, dirty joke) which seems maybe related to pieprzony....

added: similar in English might be 'spicy' as jon mentioned in a previous post

Yes, that`s what I meant! Good! :):):)

Now, another idiomatic adjective. Sticky!!!

easy!

lepkie ręce = sticky fingers (prone to stealing)

Sorry, that`s not what I meant.


Not so fast. Sorry. :):):)

Hint is in the name of the thread:

Before I forget: what does Tomato mean in special usage?

Hint - this adjective comes from a noun.

Does this have something to do with a children's game?

Well, yes, but also adopted by adults for their mature games and that`s my riddle. :):):)

Lol. Every question is answered with the word 'tomato'.

A hot looking woman in the WW2 era.

What context? Clingy, persistent, viscous?

Yes!! But what for???


Need a hint??? Ok, it denotes a negative context. :):):)


No, forget this meaning of sticky like glue etc. I mean another meaning. Derived from a noun, to be precise.

Sorry, I need to introduce another idiom before I forget:

to give on the balls!! What does it proudly mean????
