Not an encyclopedic article
Please revert this to User:<insertnamehere>\How_to_deal_with_Poles as this is not an encyclepedia article.
- Meta is not an enyclopedia. The neutral point of view is far less important here than on en:. Moreover, this article is an ironic form of (seemingly) self-deprecating humor: it has been written entirely by Poles. --[[User:Eequor|η

It's a joke, people! Is sarcasm a foreign language to you? Space Cadet
I'm Polish... :(
To avoid confusion, you pronounce it tea <space> who you <as one word, space> yeah bunny <again, one word>. It is very common greeting in Poland. If you will use it with your polish friends you will never forget their amazement. Szopen
A very interesting artice. --ShaunMacPherson 15:57, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Meaning
So, what does "tea - who you - yeah bunny" mean? And can somebody write it in i Polish? Quite 10:23, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- ..Do you really want to know? ;-) Anyway, don't use it in public in Poland ;-) Pibwl
- Yes, I really want to know. Quite 14:57, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- According to [1], it's "Ty chuju jebany", which in Polish means "You are fucking penis". Matt Crypto 14:51, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- More precisely, You f**ing penis, keeping in mind, that this is the most offensive word for penis in Polish language (written correctly: ch*j, not h*j - what many Poles are not aware of). Pibwl
- You f**king dick would perhaps better convey the intended meaning :)

Well, yes. BTWm there more of such nice sentences, like: scotch me tea who you. Odd pear doll she, tea story who you. Yes Tess Q Tess. Dee may she. 150.254.31.167 07:45, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
This article is just wrong. More importantly, it lacks credible sources.--Eloquence
- And the author has comples of inferiority :) 150.254.31.167 07:45, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Let's make it a meta translation of the week... ;)

I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO PERUSE THE MORE ERUDITE PAGES OF THIS WIKIMEDIA PROJECT BUT SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK THE ENGLISH IN THIS PARTICULAR ARTICLE AS THE HUMOUR IS OBVIOUSLY LOST IN TRANSLATION AND IT JUST COMES ACROSS AS RACIST TO ENGLISH SPEAKING POLES (WHO DO EXIST SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH!)
BY THE WAY, WHILE YOU ARE ON THE SUBJECT OF POLISH/ENGLISH PUNS THERE IS ALSO THE WELL KNOWN SONG SANG TO COMMEMORATE THE DAY YOU CAME ONTO THE PLANET :- "HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHO-YOU!"
Could someone explain to me how this page is any more valuable than one stating that "black people eat fried chicken and steal VCRs"? silsor 22:27, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Well, the reason is, that being a Pole, I rolled on the floor laughing while reading it. But, people: I hope noone gets it seriously... Pibwl
- I'm not pole but this is my favourite on meta, can't help laughing. Of course, I don't trust one word about it, which is even better. villy 22:38, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Making fun of stereotypes of one's own culture is more acceptable than making fun of someone else's. It's even better if you can mock those stereotypes at the same time. —Charles P. 18:30, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Yep, yep, another Pole here - let's keep it :) --Piotrus 18:45, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
It is a holly Truth!!! May be with a little exception - that article Exists, thus Poles are not hopeless...
Oh, it's so hilarious I can't stand it. The article is indeed ... well, I don't understand what is it for and it doesnt represent any value for me, but isnt this discussion itself so hiarious it shouldnt be deleted :P ? (a Pole)
Some Polish guys have no sense of humor, especially when it touches their own nation. Ale, zebyscie wiedzieli, nie kazdy Polak ma taki zly humor jak "(a Pole)"! Not every Pole has such a bad sense of Humor jak "(a Pole)"! Very funny article! Micha.
Let's keep comments in comments
Moved from article to here: --Piotrus 18:43, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
Guideline based on my own experiences - Arkadiusz D. Danilecki (actually, based on behaviour of people who were discussing with me). <- Do not trust him! He's a loonatic. And we Poles aren't these little, irritating people. Just check it in more trustworthy source of knowledge, like National Geographic.
As a side-note, while I wrote this I thought about about real behaviour of real people in wikipedia. Maybe that's why this is funny for Poles working on wikipedia, sicne they immedietely can recognise such behaviour, while some misguided Pole thought this was offensive. - szopen
I must say this is one of the funniest things I have ever read on the internet. I'm not Polish myself (though I have a great affinity for the land and it's people), and and at no point in time was I inclined to take it seriously. A great article, to delete it would be a disgrace.
Irony/joke
Seeing the way a few Poles reacted to the HtdwP article, I've come up with an additional rule: "Poles have no sense of humour. Don't ever be sarcastic and do not try joking when conversating with a Pole and especially not when explaining something to one". 85.128.94.20 11:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- And one more thing: Poles often suffer from severe losses of memory. Lik me up there :P (it was my suggestion) Airwolf 11:45, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- If I'd write a similar, ignorant article about your country- I guess you would have a similar reaction.
Want More
This piece is very entertaining and I'd like more. I've tried clicking on the blue link above and get nothing. I need more, please help!68.255.4.188 20:56, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
The link didn't work for me either ;-))) -Ziomek 84.40.11.43 22:35, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
It doesn't work because it's not supposed to work. It should give you the following impression: arguing with Poles is the same as clicking on this blue link.
Want more? Here U go: rule nr 1 - that's true, I'm the best example - I love to argue with because I simply love to argue :P I don't say that I'm always wrong but even if I'm it doesn't disturb me... :P
rule nr 2 - true, true, true - if someone (not Polish of course) show his/her knowledge of Poland/Polish than I'm am IMPRESSED - don't know why and how - it's merely so.
rule nr 3 - I don't agree. ok, most of us speak English poor, but people from wikipedia speak (or rather write) fluent (I reckon...). Hmmm... most of my friends, however, would be able to communicate with an English guy so i simply can't agree with that point.
rule nr 4 - we are nationalists - that's true, but only while talking with foreigners. In Poland, among Polish, hardly anyone would call himself a patriot (maybe with some % in blood). But on the other hand - Polish patriot= nationalist, American nationalist=patriot. Why is it so? (I would call myself nationalist, too but I also like jokes about Poland :P)
rule nr 5 - Polish aren't an exception here :P
rule nr 6 - our sources are ok, the problem is a simple Polish guy - not the sources, in Poland we have two "histories" - one is on the left and the other on the right. And sometimes it is difficult not to mix the true with the ideaology. However, the situation is getting better every year (yeah, communism...)
rule nr 7 - God, how I hate that :P
To sum up - I must say that what is written in the article is more or less but true :D now you can laugh
Author!
Does anyone remember the original author of this hillarious piece of prose? Kudos to Szopen. As a sidenote, I guess it's the best monument to w:User:Nico he could ever dream of. Halibutt 11:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
it just goes to show how reasonable polish people are
What other oppressed minorities do you have to denegrate to feel superior? Who made Poland a part of the USSR for about 50 years? I must commend you on your sense of humour. Yes ha ha they speak a different language to us, ha ha how funny is that? They don't speak English as well as us. Ho ho ho, they have swear words and actually react to them. That's really extraordinary stuff. Maybe make a manual on writing humour, so we can all learn from a master debater like you?
