You drink your wodka straight 8. You listen to techno 9. You don’t feel the need to add an "s" to "pierogi" because you know the word is already plural and it annoys you when others do.

When you hurt yourself, you don't say "Ouch", you say, "Awwa" 23. you ever played "na trzepaku", "w gume", or "w Pomidor"

Niebieski Ptaku (drzwiami przytrzaśnięty?), popełniłeś poważny błąd! Kilt to nie spódniczka, sporran - nie torebka, a sgian dubh - to nie scyzoryk! Tu się mówi sori, a nie sorry. A majtek nie nosimy, bo to wymysł tych lalusiów z południa :)
