You are Polish if...

...if Christmas Eve is more important to you than Christmas Day (extra points if you open your presents after wigilia as well ; : ).

More like "You don't recognize your own name when it is properly pronounced."

Haha, so true. I was pleasantly surprised, when everyone pronounced my surname correctly in Poland:)

Indeed I've met only two people in America that pronounced my surname correctly upon first seeing it: a Russian History professor and a German apartment manager. I was reminded of the latter when watching the movie The Big Lebowski in which the German nihilists are the only characters that correctly pronounce the titular surname.

you think Żubrówka with apple juice is the best drink in the world.

I mean, it's good but there are far more interesting options out there.

....you had to drink hortex fruit juices and found them disgusting. :)

I've never seen Polish people drink it. Neat vodka, beer or wine only, adding fruit juice to vodka is considered criminal around here

What state of America is Poland, US? ;)

Men and women alike like it.

not sure, but is this called tatanka?

neither have i. i read about it on the forum and wonder if it's an urban myth.

you're Polish if you were born in POLAND

Two things not to be proud of...

The unofficial 51st state. I think it has more qualifications (faithful ally) than let's say Puerto Rico for becoming one ;)

most of my friends will drink wodka neat and drink fruit juice after. however i think its getting more common to mix fruit juice, coca cola etc with wodka. personally would like to wake up next morning and remember everything:)

Croggers, even that isn't fully true.

It's not an urban myth. Ask around, you'll see.

Could well be, Penn ;)

eat well beforehand and you will

nie mart sie....nie jestem glupia..lol!! grammar wrong again?

and drink plenty water to dilute the alcohol. It's a must!

if......you are not sure whether Poland sucks or rocks!

Yep...now I know.

if......you blame all traffic accidents on the quality of the roads rather than the idiotic driving.

To me that is classic German!

I've heard Poles make fun of this so perhaps not so Polish.


I agree. Definitely not. I have seen this consumed many times.

yes it is...unfortunately. germans are the m ost unstylish nation in europe...

This too ;)

... If you're a man and you own a pair of corduroy trousers

... If you work at Urząd Miejski at the "information" desk and when someone comes for "information" you say to them "do you think I'm here to help you or something?"

... If you think it's normal when standing in a queue for a mans penis to be pressing up against your ass

... You work in a shop and huff when the customer doesn't give you the exact change even tough your till is full of change

... You're completely gobsmacked when someones says that they don't like Polish food

... You think it's OK to ballroom/jive/waltz dance with your partner when out at a busy Disco knocking into everyone, but the're the ones who should move out of the way for you

... You think UHT milk is great

... you think Britain has no traditional food only fish & chips and puddings

Top post, croggers!

I'm surprised your head hasn't been bitten off yet ;)

... you're a girl and you have a FAKE Versace bag

so guys with fake Versaces are all non-Polish?

have you ever seen a Polish guy with a fake versace bag ?

... when using public transport you sit on the seat closest to the isle

... when using public transport you put your bag on the empty seat next to you and huff n puff if someone wants to sit next to you

If they could reserve a seat, they would. The behaviour of Poles on public transport is baaaad.

Ok, here's my take at it.

You are Polish if...

-You will never admit you're wrong
-You will claim that Poles are the smartest people on earth
-You will not admit that Jews have greatly contributed to the world
-You will not admit that Poland's Jewish minority has contributed more in certain scientific fields than the Polish Christian majority
-You will not admit that some Poles have done very bad things to Jews, Ukrainians and others
-You will not admit that overall Poland has been a weak nation throughout history constantly being conquered by others
-You will say your women are the most prude (yeah right)
-You will say your women are the most attractive in the world
-You will say most Polish women prefer Polish men (haha yea right)
-You will not admit that many Polish women are open to interracial dating whether they admit it or not
-You're a fan of terrible sports like soccer
-You listen to horrible music like European techno garbage

Most prude? Prudish or prudent? Quite a difference!

Since when has football been "a terrible sport"?

Many Poles don't like that techno stuff. Mainly the meatheads do.

There is a fair bit of truth in the rest of what you said.
