[Gość: Wojtek]

Mon Cher Mgr Jacko,

I like to think of myself as being a clever fellow (I know, I know) and so I
took it to 'poltran.com', the web-dictionary you recomended elsewhere, but
after two heipings declined their offers. "W Nowym Yorku minuta (nieznaczny)"
for your 1st and "Wlaczaja *dime*" for your second would hardly be equivalents
you had in mind I thought (so much for my being clever) and decided on my first
hunch to your first expression meaning 'in no time'? The rest, I haven't got the
faintest.

[Gość: nat]

I imagine 24/7 stands for open all hours, ie 24 hours a day,7 days a week
to whack - to strike at someone with a stick, kitchn towel, rolling pin?
Spick - know it only from Mary Poppins' 'spick and span', ie neat and clean

What is the meaning of 'turn a dime'?

[Gość: mgr Wypych]

So far you've got "in New York minute" and "24/7" right.
There are two more ( these are the hints also ): wop, gook.

Mgr Wypycjh

You certainly have been busy!

Wop is an Italian
Gook is a Chinaman, Vietnamese etc. a bit like 'slopehead'.
Maybe you should include 'towelhead' ' dago' 'kike' 'jock' paddy' taff' in
your little list.

You are right about wop. As for gook you are wrong. Chinaman is a chink.
By the way why italians are called wops?

Come of it. 'Gook' and 'chink' are much of a muchness. Manybe 'gook' is a bit
wider, to South-East Asians.
Dunno about wops. You know where 'taff' come from, don't you.

[Gość: sisi]

24/7 was too easy
How about "nine while nine"?

[Gość: nat]

In England it means 'from nine to nine', when describing passage of time. When
waiting for something, you while the time away, wishing for it to pass quicker.
Nine while nine, in poetic terms it's like saying day and night come and go ...
and I'm still waiting.

I've heard someone say 'it's a whack of a steak', meaning that the offering on

who 'can't be arsed with his appearance' (that's a new one learned from my
student daughter). Somehow I don't think I'm getting nearer to the meaning you
have in mind. I shell persevere.

In England we say: I'll give you a tenner for it, top whack (ie not a penny

Or 'that's my whack of the deal' - ie 'my share'

whack - to kill (by shooting) or take 'crack' (drug)

In NY (where mgr Wypych probably lives) to whack can
only mean one thing: to kill someone

[Gość: tele]

24/7 just means non-stop and "to whack" - to hit somebody with an object

Turn on a dime, stop on a dime " to do something momentarly, without delay,
immediately. I remember a commercial, where a car driving with a high speed
stops on the dime ( 10 cents) that was put on the road. O,K,?

[Gość: Dr Pecker]

What about "I thought I'd get it cheap cos I know the restaurant owner, but I
had to pay full whack". OR I felt so horny taht I had to go into the toilets

Something tells me that 'gook' is a name for Koreans. Some massacre comes to

[Gość: nat]

Wojtek, inspired by your suggestion I checked the American Heritage Dictionary
of English Language and here it is:
SPICK - offensive slang used as disparaging term for a Hispanic person.
Alteration of 'spig', Mexican short of 'spiggoty', perhaps from an accented
pronunciation of (No) speak the (English)

Well, now we all know.

[Gość: sisi]

spic - also: spick, spig (derog.) a Spanish-speaking person from Central or
South America, or the Caribbean; also the Spanish-American language.

WOP used to stand for WithOut Papers. Italian immigrants carried no

Napolitano in Italy but thousands Napolitanos in US.
Some of the terms I've posted are offensive, although I didn't mean to offend

Turn God damn lights on. Stop torturing yourself 'cause you ain't getting any

[Gość: Wojtek]

Spick, wop, gook, pollack... they are words and I see no harm in knowing what
they mean. In fact, it maybe helpful to refrain from using them. If you want to
insult somebody, you'll do it with or without those. Of course, it's wiser not
to use them at all as there are people who just get offended, insulted or hurt
no matter what you say or how you say it, believe me. Fucking wainkers.

Well then, in my Polish days it would have been 'pedalowaty', but as I have had

A joke about English expressions

[Gość: MaciekS]

Lay Polly or Jack off

A middle manager was in a quandary. He had to downsize
one of his staff members. He had narrowed it down to one
of two candidates, Polly or Jack. It would be a difficult
decision to make, as they were both equally qualified and
both did excellent work. He finally decided that in the
morning, whichever one used the water cooler first would
be the one to be let go. Polly came in early that
morning, hugely hung over after partying all night and
getting no sleep. She went to the cooler to get some
water to take an aspirin. The manager approached her and
said, "Polly, I've never done this before, but I have to
lay you or Jack off." Polly replied, "Could you jack off?
I have a terrible headache."

Cigaretts in Ireland are called fags in jargon or slang,
Mr. Wypych. That's not from a book, but from Irish
people who I know personally. I don't believe it can be a
subject for discussion... unless you lived in Ireland and
knew their slang/jargon in full.

They may be called smokes in England or even in the USA.
They certainly can be called that in Ireland, but denying
its name called by a Irish person is simply unpolite.

that the matter does not exist... an could be familiar to

Dear M,

I'm not an expert, but hmmm isn't this thread called "American expressions"?..
I believe it is, and if so, the person who started it has the right to say
that "cigarettes are smokes, definitely not fags" - especially that, as far as
I know, in America a "fag" is an offensive and diminishing term for a
homosexual man and I can imagine a situation where you would get into trouble
by saying "chuck me a fag, buddy" to somebody in the USA, LOL! Besides, I don't
believe Mr Wypych would argue with you that "fags" are a slang word for
cigarettes in Ireland... :) So no need to take it personally...

Maciek is right about fags in Ireland. And Brits don't say smokes for

mate'. 'Fags' or 'faggots' in the derogatory gay meaning is coming in in the

B/O - body odour - negative meaning

Can you imagine my reaction when I heard this ?:

" yo, Fags thats so nasty just cuz u cant get no girls dont mean ure dumb gay
asses should like guys......bullshit u were born that way u choose to be that

There are so many descriptive words for gays aren't there?

1.fags
2.fruits
3.queers
4.bumfuckers
5.nancy boys
6.fudge packer
7.pitches for the other team
8.sausage jockey

Keep them coming
