What do Polish people talk about?

There are different ways to combat stereotypes. Sometimes you have to carry them ad absurdum.

Spot on. And do it with balls of steel.

teachers, who are people after all, mostly talk about:

Teachers talk about their holidays and complain about the quality of the coffee and the largely pointless paperwork.

That and (in the case of good ones who never sit down) about their backs and their feet.

complain about the quality of the coffee

If you drink shyt coffee in your workplace, it is your own choice. Probably to have a topic for interesting conversations. Like: What awful coffee we drink!! which reminds me British small talk about the weather. :):):)

Didn't you eavesdrop by accident?

No, I don`t look at their screens to know what they are talking about with mates.

Indeed, you

Ooo, ta prowokacja z pewnością nie pozostanie bez stanowczej reakcji!!! Ha!!!

That sounds creepily right wing. The reality is that most people don't have the time, energy or very often the money to use something other than the machine that is there.

which reminds me British small talk about the weather

Same in Poland ly the weather is less variable.

I find that in Polish workplaces, the water cooler chat is more often than not, gossip, the weather political trivia, boasting and backbiting.

Europeans in general tend to discuss politics, sex, and religion far more openly
than is the custom in my experience here in the States!

Other nationalites as well, Brazilians for example, find North Americans unusually
repressed and superficial, at least as concerns conversation, especially at parties.

From having lived in Germany for a spell, by contrast, Americans don't seem to talk about
much of anything substantive. Poles are similar to Germans in terms of their topics of conversation, I find.

This finally proves that you are not an American.

We, Americans, say "the US", "the United States", or "America'. Never "the States" if we mean the country.

"the States" is so European...

Not really acceptable in English-speaking countries. Especially with strangers.

From having lived in Germany for a spell,

How long was the spell and what year was it ?
Two weeks in 1979 with your parents ?

the water cooler chat is more often than not, gossip, the weather political trivia, boasting and backbiting.

Sounds like the back page of the PolishForums to me.

What do you discuss? How to grow roses?
jon357  72 | 23348

Interesting things.

Gardens can of course be a good topic if both parties are interested.

I hate roses. They don't last and, like most women, they attract and make you bleed if you are not super careful.

That's why some men turn gay.

Women are so stupid that even when a cop gives them a break they don't shut up and continue arguing...

Like this moron...

This is one reason for the US "Where are you from?" opener followed by "Wow! A cousin of a person I used to work with drove through there!" follow up.

We dont' have many safe topics to start with.

Poles usually avoid this by avoiding each other while abroad.

We have plenty...

Are trans women really women? I asked this question so many times and always had a very lively conversation.

That's how I decide if I am dealing with a sane person or a moron. Similar to: Does Israel have a right to exist? It never fails.

We do the same only not as much. Even in England which is not huge, there's a disconnect between north and south.

House prices are a big topic in Britain, that and football.

I've noticed that too.

...but not Muslim and black migrant scum invasion...That "hate speech"... Brits are well trained not to touch the third rail...

Now just in case I am wrong...Can somebody please post a link to a British forum like this one so I can prove me wrong...

Also...Can a US citizen who lives in the US be charged with "hate speech" posted by said US citizen in the UK?

We're actually talking about Poland and Poles. Not stuff you've read online.

Nonsense too. You've never been there.

boasting

Yes, jon, if you mention it, let me remind you that Polish sausage is much better than your pseudo sausage product.
Besides, it was Polish pilots who saved your asses in 1940!!! hahaha buhahaha

Polish sausage

You're mixing sausage and sausages.

Besides, it was Polish pilots who saved your asses in 1940

It wasn't and you know it.

You're just trying to get a reaction. Like the shut-in Novichok but his stuff is a weak attempt at exorcising his demons by being vile whereas yours is just a Polish attempt at humour.

Have you tried Lincolnshire sausages?
pawian  222 | 26741

You're just trying

What is your problem?? I only take your example. :):):)

is just a Polish attempt at humour.

Actually, it is not humour, but facts. I heard such a conversation between a British teacher and Polish teachers when they were all a little under the influence during an organised outing. :):):)

Have you tried Lincolnshire sausages?

No and I am not going to. :):):)

Those are two different things, it is like comparing apples and oranges.

Not 'facts' however at least you spell humour correctly.

No and I am not going to. :):):)

You're missing out.

How about haslet?

No, it is like comparing your peanut balls to male elephant ones. Or your tiny dick to male horse`s aka stallion`s. Ha!!
Forgive me those animals in comparisons, I can`t help it coz I am a product of animal world myself.

It is somewhat like a Polish thing under the general label of paté.

t is like comparing your peanut balls to male elephant ones. Or your tiny dick

tsk it is evident you have many complexes and you are insecure about those things. Have you been laughed at?
I give you the same advice I have given to strzelc - go for castration - you will calm down and your disposition will become sunny.

It's a little different. Baked in a roll. Very much a regional dish however there's a difference between the Manchester kind, a type of wędliny, and the Lincolnshire kind, baked at home, and very herby.

The Polish word pasztet is a bit of a catch-all. Covering everything from Ardennes Pate, baked terrines right through to cheap and nasty potted meat in tubs.

If it tastes a bit like stuffing, I love it. Used to have it a lot as a kid.
