Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation - part 2

Don`t despair coz not only your posts have been deleted. Feniks`s and mine, too. In result, the riddle hold by the balls still looks unsolved. ::):):)

PS. That`s one of the things which makes the PF so funny. ):):):)

When I sometimes think of my attitudes to certain life issues, I usually recall this idiom:
you can jump/leap (on) me
What does it mean???

And another one before I forget:

Free american. It is a phrase which nicely describes my exchanges with Novi. :):):)

Well of course because I solved the riddle which was most hilarious.

Oh I solved it alright and didn't even use anyone's name in the process so I wouldn't get another suspension by her.

I have to agree to that, the gamey part, but then on the other hand they want me to donate a large sum of money to the forum for their one way street of shame.
Or like you would say, Hahahahahaha !
Here is one for you Pawian, Insisting on having the ball in one's court to control your opponent
And another
To bite the bullet
And come back here in a day or two and this post will be deleted too, if not sooner.

I only know bite the dust by British Queen rock group:


Are these idioms similar?

Wolna amerykanka

No-holds barred situation characterized by chaos.

Some say it's related to American professional wrestling.

But don't forget to include instructions that balls are dribbled or bounced, or you will find particular unsavory character hiding in the corner, furiously liking the ball::))

You're supposed to have a translation of the idiom, you idiot.

Ugryźć kulę

Why do you suck so bad at being a good forum member?

My point was the bias CONTROL factor or "have one by the balls."
I don't have the option to delete her posts like she does mine when I make her look stupid.
She can shame me but when I shame her back my posts get deleted and a suspension when I push it.
Thats having "someone by the balls" means.
Or what I call, "a one way street."

Gee really !
I thought YOU were suppose to guess. Hoot !
Now watch someone else try to confuse the issue at hand.

Hmm, interesting. My instinct would be American economy...

My answer to it is in random post #150. I won't repost it back in this thread again.


Does this mean the same as idź sobie?

That pretty much ties in with what I was thinking, anything goes, a free-for-all

The issue at hand is translations of idioms... can a person guess what idiom has been translated

If you can't continue with that topic then maybe go to random and rant away at the walls all you want.


It was first explained to me in terms of wrestling... though other etymologies appear as well, including the idea of an 'emancipated American woman' (leading to chaos?)

My idea is that Amerykanka is not the noun 'American woman' but more an abstract noun meaning 'America(n) (stuff)'. I'm not sure if it's approved usage but I've heard people using -ka as a way of turning... situations into nouns.

Nope.

Before I forget: what slaughter! This one seems a new one in the Polish language.

I just used a Polish saying on certain poster. What is sucked from the finger ???

This is used when someone isn't telling the truth and has purposely fabricated a story or allegation.

Exactly and it is amaSSing some posters are doing it here when you can check everything online.

Agree 100%

Non Poles and non Polesses, what does it mean and what is the origin of this idiom???

Unfulfilled promises a candidate makes to voters. Various populist ways of gaining support.

In 19th century Poland picnics by candidates for deputies in parliament took place with free food and drink ( vodka and sausages ). These were organised in order to gain support of the masses.

Exactly but I didn`t know about 19th. I know it from 20th. :):):)

Sb has just used that funny idiom: to screw sb without soap.

To shaft somebody in the worst possible way?

If it's what I think it is then I would translate it differently.

I have one describing one of the posters here to a T:
To be like a weathercock in the wind

Which involves brutality and ruthlessness. That`s what imperial Russians and Golden Cow trumpists are trying to perform on Ukraine.

There is another similar saying which also includes soap.

I would be interested to know how you would translate it.


Someone easily influenced and always changing their mind/beliefs on things?

Novi. First he puts 10 posters on Ignore, then brings them back, then ignore again and so forth.

A new one has just come to my mind: around Maciej (male first name)

I was thinking about
to walk into somebodys ass without vaseline


Yes :) Opportunist.


No

A specific Maciej or is the name used randomly?


Is it the definition of an a$$licker? Someone that will suck up to somebody?


I can think of a couple of posters that might apply to......

W kolko Macieju. Of all the people you should recognize, round and round we go.
