anyone know what the word pronounced "bayboosh" means I am not sure how you spell it in polish, im guessing babusz

im guessing babusz

babuś
Babusz means nothing, babuś - short of babusia, endearing term for a grandmother.

Compare sounds:
Invoke translate.google.com , select Polish => English translation, type these two words - one under the other - in the left pane and hit the speaker icon. You should hear the difference. Do not try it with the right pane; you might get a fit of laughter.

Of course I had to try that, very funny :-)..............now I know why Polish people laugh when I try to speak Polish. It is always good for a laugh :-)

Merged: Polish Slang

I'm looking for some Polish slang like something to describe a crazy person, a tough guy (or acts tough), a stupid person, and some general slang expressions. What are your favorite Polish slang words to use?

i came up with this phrase, which is likely to be a heavy one: what does "męska pipą" mean?

"męska pipa"

a douchebag
or maybe an asshole would be closer

a douchebag

What exactly is a douchebag? It sounds like something a Parisian lady would keep her cosmetics in, but I have an idea I might be wrong.

Albo rybka, albo pipka. How about that one?

God Bless is not Szczesc boze, I think. My friends use it when they want to express amusement and pitty when someone they like has done something funny but silly. Not sure how to translate it though....:/

What exactly is a douchebag?

are you asking about the literal meaning of the word? I've no idea but have similar associations as you. Anyway, I've picked it up on a F1 forum where it is frequently used, in relation to the drivers, in contexts where a Pole would just call somebody "dupa wołowa", so I've thought it to be an appropriate translation :)

Pipa, pipka or cipa are words for the female sexual organ so "męska pipa" - a male pipa - denotes somebody who's ineffective, undecided and generally shows no character - just like dupa wołowa.

Albo rybka, albo pipka. How about that one?

that's an either-or situation, similar to "albo rybki, albo akwarium" - either the fish or a fish tank

Can someone help? I used to know a Polish family from Buffalo, NY and a phrase they always used sticks in my mind this time of year. I know I will spell this wrong but it to spell it like it sounds, it was "tachi szeebna holeda" and I think it meant "cold as hell". Can anyone tell me if that is correct and if that's what it means?

Thanks! I'm just a Texas girl :)
