Why do Polish people have the word β€œski” at the end of their name?

Because you need Poles to ski.

Doctor, I keep seeing frogs before my eyes.

Don't worry, it's just a hoptical illusion.

If you wrote down the names of all the works by a 19th century Polish composer...

...you'd have a Chopin List.

During the Polish-Swedish war, Sweden conquered the city of Bydgoszcz and renamed it as Bromberg.

Bromberg later became part of the Kingdom of Prussia, changed hands a few more times (including a short period of Napoleonic rule), before it finally became Polish again after World War I. The Polish government reinstated the old name of the city, deciding to let Bydgoszcz be Bydgoszcz.

My brother, my dad and I were watching a volleyball game...

...And one of the player's name is "Miskin" (Polish setter for Jasztrebski-Wegiel, a very well known club in Poland and Europe). Us being Indonesian, the word "miskin" means "poor" as in not having money.

So during the whole game my dad would say stuff like:

  • "How come does he play in a prestigious club and still end up being poor?"

  • "Maybe if he gets his paycheck they will finally write "Rich" ("Kaya" in Indonesian) on his jersey."

And other phrases I managed to forget.

When he says them, my mom who isn't watching, would stop whatever she was doing to raise her head to stare into the emptiness and shake her head.

When people hear our last name...

Dad is telling a story of when he was at work.

Coworker: "So how do you say your last name?"

Dad: "Nie- (14 letters in total, difficult to pronounce if you're not a Polish native)"

C: "Holy moly!"

D: "No, Nie- ... "

Not even that funny but when he told me the story over dinner I absolutely died. I <3 my dad.
