Mea, don't worry after all Polish is third on the list of "hard to learn languages" and that does mean something... The number of strange thing we did to our language is probably beyond the possibilities of understanding that an average English-speaking person has. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> (no offence meant of course)
If You should ever wish to send anything such as "Merry Christmas" to anyone in Polish I will still be glad to help.
PS. Gwoopy... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> still can't stop laughing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> It's quite funny to see it written phonetically in English when you know the correct phonetics and spelling. And as for the meaning - You are right it is a quite "gentle" (by today's common standards) way of saying: stupid.
