Polish. (derogatory, schoolyard) An Englishman.
No idea whether legitimate or not but it gave off the impression of a joke entry. @Vininn126, Shumkichi. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 05:16, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- Speedied. Although there are no doubt a few fluent speakers of Polish in Mountain View, California, I doubt they would be adding entries like this. I don't see why Polish school kids would go out of their way to use "The", which is grammatically and phonologically absolutely foreign to Polish, to make a phrase that isn't exactly characteristic of the kind of English they would encounter. Any kid who knows these words undoubtedly knows dozens of English words that would work a lot better. Chuck Entz (talk) 06:32, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- Makes sense, striking. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 14:43, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- While it should be speedied, I wouldn't use that justification. It's obviously a joke. Vininn126 (talk) 19:49, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
