is quite a fail
Sorry. I beat my breast. Siema and siemanko are slang for 'haya doin'?' It's not something you'd say to your uni professor, priest (over 50) or elderly aunt.
Polish slang phrases - most popular.

They like to say 'siemanko' instead of 'good morning' at register time. I understand that this is slang for 'hello', but is it disrespectful?
When said to a teacher, especially in Poland, then I'd say yes. But again, I may be outdated... ;-)

Anyone on PF use siema, siemanko, nara, pozdro, heja, spoko and the like on a regular basis (not as a joke)?
How about pochwa?
Seems a young priest teaching catechism in school heard kids saying siema, nara and spoko and wanted to sound cool and trendy himself. So when he entered the classroom he would greet the kids with a rousing POCHWA! (short for Niech będzie Pochwalony Jezus Chrystus).

OMG. You really believe that's a true story? It's a joke that's about 15 years old. Yeah, kids have been using siema, nara, spoko and the like for at least that long. I use spoko quite a lot when I'm in an informal setting. Actually, I use quite a number of slang expressions. It's probably because I'm not a wholesome innocent lass ;-)

I would say they are trying to be "funny". Tell them firmly that you know what it means and to cut it out. It's waaay too informal and relaxed for a class setting.
I'm not a wholesome innocent lass
To each her own!
I don't know what you mean by that. I will never see my 10th birthday again, so "fresh", "innocent" and "wholesome" are not adjectives you could describe me with. On the other hand, if you described me as mature, intelligent, funny, sexy, wise, and creative, you would not be far off the mark ;-)
10th birthday... "fresh", "innocent" and "wholesome
So that description fit you only up till your 10th birthday? Ciekawe!
I never said "only until"; and you should read up on "hyperbole". Also, you are decidedly giving this convo a sick and pervy vibe. Over and out.

I seem to remember years ago my better half saying something to the effect of: If they called her ***ienka, it is a loving diminutive kind of thing, but if they called her ***ka, she was likely in trouble for something.... Did I misunderstand?

Cześć,
I'd like to know some Polish slang words/phrases.
This has been posted before, but I wanted to bring it up again and see if there's any more recent slang.

Looking for a literal translation of : 'szynkareczko, szafareczko'
Szynkareczko, is vocative, diminutive old-fashioned name of inn owner wife or waitres in inn.
Szafareczko is vocative, diminutive old-fashioned name of house-wife or house manager.

Thanks. These two words are in 'Hulanka', a poem set to music by F. Chopin that I am including in my vocal repertoire. As I continue, I may discover others that are not currently 'Google' translatable.

Does anyone know some good phrases for stupid car drivers you can say - along the lines of debił, palant, matołek, kretyn, bałwan, baran....? Not too strong though.....
If it's a lady driver who's caused offence sometimes male drivers shout "Ty ruro".
Better to chill out though for your own safety as well as that of others.

Hi, I heard someone saying something that sounded like "Djikoe", I think it was a slang word.
Does anyone knows what it means? Thanks :)

It may means humping but that would depend on context.
