Harmless old-fashioned Polish swear words/phrases

especially since the Polish r will sound like a t between vowels to Americans (if jamiej is in fact American)

the American pronounciation of 'city' is close to syrij (using Polish spelling)

I remember my grandmother 'baci' saying psha nogga when flustered. I was told it means 'dogs foot'?

psianoga (as a single world) as two words, 'psia noga' it would mean 'dog's leg' or 'dog's foot' The two aren't distinguished much in everyday Polish and often 'noga' (leg) is used where (foot) might be more used in English. On the other hand dog's don't have legs (nogi) they have łapy (paws).

It's considered old fashioned and I can't say I've ever heard it...

It must have been a century ago. Later development of the phrase was motyla noga - butterfly leg.


Exactly. More common, though equally obsolete, is psiakość - dog`s bone.

I'm not sure if I've ever heard psiakrew (except maybe on tv) I've read it but do people really still say it?

No, it is as old fashioned as psiakość. Pity. Only k... and k.... everywhere.

and d.... and (c)h...... too!

No, d... is quite OK, coz our President bears such surname.
