One Polish birthday tradition I like is singing "sto lat
Me too!
Understanding Poland's Birthday Tradition
Me too!
Why not 200 years?
Because it is sneering. My wife`s grandma was 101 when she died. When 99, people wished her 200 years not to offend her with 100 years coz it would suggest only one more year of life. . But as she was completely incapacitated and required daily care, the 200 years also sounded like sick irony.
I recall hearing "Sto lat!" in Poland following a loud sneeze as well.
Yes, we say it to the sneezer. Polish tradition. Do you know why?
If you don`t, you can always try to guess.
Is it a riddle??
Yes.
Shyt, I am obsesssed. I can`t stop thinking about riddles.

I have never heard that before.

New to me.
New to me.
Didn`t your Polish parents say it to each other???

She wasn't lying that she was black and blue for weeks after. But realising the severity of her statement and afraid that her boyfriend may report her parents for abuse, she lied that she exaggerated.
I honestly hope he ditched her as chances are, she'd do the same to his children too.
I will be honestly traumatised for life after seeing that video.
