In need of good Polish jokes about Polish culture, people, etc

There's actually very little difference (there are other groups with far higher levels) and of course almost all Poles have a larger amount of DNA markers associated with Jewish communities than Europeans in general.

Perhaps with a Polish Jew, GefreiterKania.

Thank you, Lyzko. I absolutely love it when people suspect me of Jewish roots. When it happens in the real life I neither openly deny nor confirm it but I try to strengthen their suspicion and watch their reaction. Great fun. It is my way of sifting out idiots and checking who's a mensch and who's a schmuck. Works like a charm - I highly recommend it.

In which context? In addition, I thought that in today's Poland, origin does not play any role.

Oh, you know - whenever people find out that I support Israel in their conflict with palestinian Arabs or when I say something critical about the Church (of which I am a practising member); or when people think that I am doing "too well" in life (you know, the old Polish "na bank ma jakieś układy", "pewnie Żyd" etc.). :)


For a mensch, it doesn't. For schmucks, it sometimes does. Hence my method. :)

@GefreiterKania
I understand in what context you use the word "mensch" but I don't know why "schmuck"?

@Alien
Schmuck is a yiddish origin word for somebody obnoxious, contemptible or/and foolish. People who see Jews all around them are very often just that.

It's interesting because in German "schmuck" has definitely a positive meaning.

Only an observation, Gefreiter!
The cross-pollination between Poles and Jews is truly uncanny. After all, you guys were neighbors for so long. Yiddish borrowed as much from Polish as from High German dialects or Hebrew.

My wife's grandmother made kiszka and she was a Polish Jew. Latkas?? Also clearly of Polish origin.
