My aunt would pronounce it "shok-crensh" (or something approximating that).
Harmless old-fashioned Polish swear words/phrases
"shok-crensh"
Almost certainly "psia krew", which mean's "dog's blood". A rather common swear word in Poland.

"Psia Krew" cross referenced to English in my Polish/English up bringing meant "son of a B."
It literally means "dog's blood". It can be sometimes used like we use SOB in English, but it does not mean SOB. That would literally be "sukinsyn" in Polish. Your dictionary is not providing a literal translation, just a equivalent English phrase that sometimes, but not always, be used to convey approximately the same level of intensity and vulgarity are the Polish phrase. Sometimes other English phrases can or should be used instead, like GD, F or $hit or JC. It depends on the context.
Or what about "Psia krew bydło!", if you're really *******-)

I've never heard it used about a person, usually it's generalized frustration/rage, more like GD it! Sh1t! Mother!Fvck! (maybe not as strong as the last)
@mafketis
That's why I said "sometimes". It's never used for people, just as an exclamation for like when your internet connection stops working. There are many ways to "translate" it, as I said. It's never used to say anything like "He's an SOB" or "You SOB you".

I know that my Polish elders had no problem saying G.D. this or J.C. that as they walked down the steps of the Catholic church right after mass.
I cured most of them when they did it by asking them if that was the same Jesus that died for them on the Cross.
There is nothing harmless about those words being used for swear words if you believe in the Ten Commandments.

Psia krew bydło
Never ever heard it.
What about "do diaska!"
And my all time favourite one: A niech to dunder świśnie!!!
:)
The woman from whom I'd learned this expression was hovering round about seventy in change, furthermore was an Austrian-born transplant to Lwów before WWII. Her Polish may have either been colored by local dialect speech or is/was simply a little antiquated:-))

How about guzika? Does it mean butt?
guzika
Guzik means button. It can also mean something like nub, however I haven't ever heard it used as a swear word.
Well, it's sometimes used as a euphenism for a certain swear word beginning with the same letter in expressions like 'guzik prawda' ;)
I like that, Kaprys, and will use it :-)
'guzik prawda'
I would not use it as swearing but more like disagreement ...can be quite popular on this forum:-)
zalosny piernik = miserable old bastard
Yeah, I might have been the one who 'taught' Lyzko that phrase ....
Actually, I recall hearing it once prior, but in a different context:-)
Dupsko - large buttocks, luknij na dupsko tej damulki lol
Brac kogos na spytki- To start gossip, spread rumors about ppl

The latter means you want to get some information from somebody.
Oh dzieki, I mess up words all the time in Polish:(
I learned a new phase last week, she told its means something like biggest liar?
Quamca Perfydne
Or she could be trying to trick me again.....

Does anyone know this lovely and a bit old-fashioned Polish proverb:
"Kurwa kurwie łba nie urwie!" ?

I was watching "Noz w wodzie" with only Polish subtitles recently and heard the main character scream at the young hitchhiker who nearly ran into him, "Strojak!"
Figure is roughly translates as something along the lines of American "You jerk!", or the like:-)

Does anyone know an old, mild--and hilarious-- curse translating as, roughly, "Go stuff yourself and paint yourself green"? "Daj sie wypchac y pomalowac na zelono"--my spelling is only a guess. In the 1950's, my father used to shout it when another driver cut him off. Thanks! MEF
