Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation

For kids to make them laugh or say something other than tomato, then the game is over. It's also a way of indirectly not answering questions which I'm guessing is the adult version.


I can't think of anything other than clingy. As in to be like a limpet.

Yes, exactly!!!! Good job. Some politicians say it when they feel reporters become too inquisitive. :):):)


Ok. I need to help you more extensively which I will do with great pleasure as usual. :):):)

I said that sticky is derived from a noun. Which nouns are available?

I know and I have wracked my brains for one but I can't think what it is :(

Don`t worry! I am coming to the complaint rescue and have a great pleasure in announcing that the Polish idiom translated as sticky is derived from the English word stick which is a noun! Namely what does it mean? :):):)

I truly admire your stubborness in guessing those crazy idioms. Like a Poless! :):):)

Since when did a Polish mother have a red afro hairstyle?

Not much idea with just one word. You can stir things up with a stick. We would say to stir the pot but pretty sure it's not that.

Since a certain female authoress decided to picture her in that way! Simple! Kneel down before her choice. :):):)


Yes!!! Stick which means stick! Now, look for an adjective !!!

I don't know. Every stick has two ends is the same as saying there are 2 sides to a coin or 2 sides to every story.

I can`t bear this torment of yours any longer!!! :(:(:((:(:(:(:(:(

Here is the explanation: sticky comes from stick meaning kij - the adjective is kijowy which means chujowy. hahahaha

So you're talking about a sh!tty stick or have I got it wrong?

Yes, fekking shytty lousy pathetic stick!!!!! :):):) I have always said I meant a noun but some people never listen. hahahaha

Thank you for your persistence, it is truly admirable. :):):)

No i było kija warte.

What does it mean: to screw sb in???

To wind them up?

Wind up has several meanings. Can you elaborate??? :):):)

To say something to deliberately annoy them?

That`s what I feared..... :(:(:(:(.. Sorry, no. Check the other meaning. :):):)

It's not true, it's a joke?

What is a joke??? That there is no other meaning of wind up???
Sorry, there is, check the Cambridge dicktionary. I wasn`t joking. :):):)

A wind-up is a joke or trick when someone deliberately tells you something untrue.

Yes, exactly!!!! :):):)

Now, were you aware of that meaning or you had to check it in a dicktionary?? I am curious as an English learner trying to look into the popularity of certain phrases.

Of course I was aware of the meaning! That's what I meant in post 1548, but I presumed you hadn't understood what I meant as you asked " What is a joke?" You could also say, " You're having me on". It means the same thing.

I was joking though I said I wasn`t. It is the screwing nature of Polish apes. We can`t stop screwing people in. Sorry.


Sorry, I only know I`ve had you by Ace Ventura who conned the petnapper.

Is this some kind of white race?

That reminds me. Have we had white tango yet?

A dance that women ask the men to do. I don't think that this is what you meant though.

Yes, ladies' choice (when women ask men to dance) aka Sadie Hawkins (though just for a dance not to get married).

There was a PRL series by that name as well, an anthology with a common theme (each episode was about a different woman but they all worked in the same place).

Always an impatiently awaited moment at school discos decades ago..... :):):)
