co znaczy "Is this thing on?"

[kanon3]

[praenomen]

It depends on a context, however, I think that some equipment is switched on,
and someone is just asking, maybe he/she doesn't know the name for this "thing". :)

[joeknew]

Idiomatic for:
Czy ta rzecz jest (w dalszym ciagu) aktualna?

[kwiatek_leona]

"Czy to jest wlaczone?" (w wypadku roznych ustrojstw elektryczno-mechanicznych)

[ampolion]

Ewa do Adama: Is this thing on?

[kylie1]

If I were Eve, I would say "Is this thing up?" talking about Adam's "organ"
behind the fig leaf... unless Eve wants to know if the party fun is on... :)

//love it!!!!!

[ampolion]

Nie chodziło o to czy jest "up", lecz o to czy jest już podłączone...

[kylie1]

Co jest podlaczone, Ampolion? Can you be more specific:):) I am just
joking...trying to figure out what the poor guy would look like with cables and
wires hanging out of his pants when it actually is "podlaczone" (plugged in)
and ready for action. Sex would take on a different meaning altogether: "So how
long did it take you to untangle last night?...only an hour..wow, that's cool".

However,there is definitely some very strong logic behind that. Even if it's
not "podlaczone", it can be easily turned on.
I will leave that for further deliberation :):)

No cóż, niektórym dowcipy trzeba wyjaść. Humorowoniesprawni.

[easystreet]

Yup, you're right. Some see more to it than, uhmmm...meets the eye. The most
general meaning is: czy to nadal aktualne?

[ianek70]

It's more likely about some kind of vibrating love-toy.
