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

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 :-)
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?
growing up i have called my grandfather Dzia-Dzia is that a real translation for grandfather or is it more slang. My grandfather was polish and that was how he always spelled it and was curious about it
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....:/
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 :)
