We'll I got this from a friend, and i could relate to alot of them... its pretty funny
You know you're Polish if:
1.Your knowledge of the polish language is limited to naughty words, food names (piergoi, kapusta, etc), and drinking toasts (sto lat, zdrowie, etc).
I strongly Disagree--- I've been speaking polish basically since I was born and you were required to take it as a forein language at my old school.
2.You like to drink. Especially beer. Especially cheap beer.
Labatt Blue
3.When frustrated you slap your forehead, shake your head, and say " O Jezu Marija!"
Just the Jezu part haha.
4. You have one grandma who wears a babushka and galoshes every day of the year, and you have another grandma who wears a lot of jewelry and too much makeup.
The babushka yes... but its the same grandmother who wears all of the make-up.
5. Your grandma has a shrine, complete with votive candles and a picture of "Our Lady of Czestohowa" or "Infant of Prague".
Not sure
6. Your grandparents habitually kiss everyone they meet
Every single time
7. Your parents have at least one crucifix or religious picture with palms tucked behind it.
We have palms behind pictures, bulletin boards... pretty much everwhere
8. You bowl regularly.
only with my friends
9. You get your food blessed at Easter (Swieconcka rocks!!!) and Christmas.
Uh Huh... same thing every year, take the basket of food (food aquired from The Broadway Market) to church to get blessed.
10. Your family, at a Christmas meal, shares oplatki.
depends
11.You like to put sour cream, horseradish, and/or beer on everything you eat.
sourcream= yumm horseradish ew..
12. Your family like to play card games like hearts or pinochle, and this often
culminates into a full-blown brawl.
Christmas and the cousins = pinochle and lots of money, and in the summer time, a nice family FLIP-CUP tournament.
13. You always prefer rye bread to white or wheat.
true
14. Your dad has forced you to eat horseradish.
yeap, and its gross
15. "Horseradish isn't good unless it makes you cry!"
I dont like it period, no matter how spicy it is.
16. You can out drink all your friends.
most of the time.
17. You have waited in line at a church or bakery to but Pierogi or paczki.
no, my aunt makes Pierogi and Wegmans (a supermarket) sells them.
18. You have at least one family member who can play accordion.
i think so....
19. Your idea of "healthy" is boiled pierogi, light beer and filtered cigarettes.
they are nasty boiled... if your polish all the food is fattening, there is no "healthy" food.
20. You have relatives who are priests and nuns.
Umm, not that I know of.
21. You collect prayer cards from funerals.
Not me personally, but my mom has about 30 of them.
22. You like to gossip and generally talk too much.
So Ive been told.
23. People often have trouble pronouncing your last name.
Exactly and Spelling it... (Rzeznik.... people try to spell it like this Resnick) i dont think so.
24. You walk up to a crowd of people you don't know and talk to them like they're
your best friends.
Sometimes, but not if they're old people.
25. You drink coffee black and take you liquor straight up.
black coffee w/ sugar.. and hard core
26.Your family is so loyal a second cousin would take a bullet for you.
Sure thing and at this point I would do the same thing. I have family in lebabon, and right now its not looking good over there.
27. If you're from Buffalo, one of the most Polish cities around, you shop at the Broadway Market.
I have and always will. You get food here that you cant get anywhere else. EX: Frank's Red Hot Sauce, Sahlen's Hotdogs, Weber's Mustard... and pizza is the best. Right between NY and Chicago Styles.
So yeah, me and my friends are dorks and we were all reading these haha. But i wouldnt want them any other way.
