stroke

[kurdelebele]

Different strokes for different folks, mowi powiedzenie. O ile rozumiem
ogolnie sens, to wymyka mi sie stroke w tym kontekscie. Ktos pospieszy z pomoca?

[mudzyn7]

Dla kazdego cos innego.

[mudzyn7]

Moim zdaniem nie ma sensu tego tlumaczyc, przeciez ile jest polskich powiedzonek ktorych nie da sie "rozebrac"

[mudzyn7]

To akurat nie w temacie, ale przypomnialo mi sie z dawnego Manna i Materny.
"Latwiej kijek obcinkowac, niz go potem pogrubasic"

[kurdelebele]

Szanowny kolego, dziękuję za głos.

Rozumiem sens całego zdania oraz trzech spośród czterech wyrazów się nań
składających. Chcę tylko załatać dziurę. Wyjaśnienie "nie ma sensu tego
tłumaczyć" niestety nie satysfakcjonuje moich dzikich żądz.

Got a little motto
Always sees me through -
When you're good to Mama
Mama's good to you!

Let's all stroke together
Like the Princeton crew -
When you're strokin' Mama
Mama's strokin' you!

[kurdelebele]

Very nice.

But still useless, to my mind.

>> Very nice. But still useless, to my mind.

stroke = to rub gently in one direction; to caress = delikatnie glaskac lub
piescic = sprawiac przyjemnosc w okreslony sposob

czyli ze "different strokes for different folks" = doslownie "rozne
przyjemnosci dla roznych ludzi" ale tak sie po polsku nie mowi - polskie
powiedzenie brzmi "dla kazdego cos milego (innego)"

jeszcze mala uwaga, slowo "stroke" ma wiele znaczen i to calkiem rozbieznych

[kurdelebele]

That's much better, thanks a million :)

[jarka63]

Horses for courses znaczy to samo, a jest chyba jeszcze bardziej enigmatyczne.

[ampolion]

One may get a stroke reading all this.

[jarka63]

Have a stroke?

[paper_mate]

my car has a four stroke internal combustion engine

[kisiulak]

This painting has very nice brush strokes.

[mudzyn7]

How many valves on a cylinder? 2 or 4? Turbo?, double turbo?

[mudzyn7]

This girl I just met stroke me as a flaky one.

PS> What does a "flaky" mean, in my opinion it's someone who is easy to manipulate, and does exactly what you tell her to do...not in a good way.

Any ideas?

[jarka63]

STRUCK me as flaky.
flaky (esp.AmE)=slightly crazy

>>> This girl I just met stroke me

I think he is onto something if you catch my drift;-)

[mudzyn7]

I like your thinking Paper, but this time I wasn't. (If you catch my drift).

[kisiulak]

An unreliable person. A procrastinator. A careless or lazy person. Dishonest and
doesn't keep to their word. They'll tell you they're going to do one thing, and
never do it.

[mudzyn7]

Yeah, I always thought that that was a definition of flaky, thanx Kisiulak.

dla purytanow: I've

I hear you, but careless or not we are talking of getting stroked here.

I totally hear you :)

Also, I recommend www.urbandictionary.com
You can learn lots of great stuff there :)

[kisiulak]

Like the word "holla" was always a mistery to me, and Urban Dictionary cleared
it right up for me ;)

[mudzyn7]

Although me stroking kindly Paper Mate generates a gagguing reflux,
Saying Holla, Holla to You Kisiulak seems like a good idea!

[kisiulak]

Holla back yo!

:)

[mudzyn7]

Shit, for some reason i assumed that you were a girl, if not then...holy smoke!
Disregard, oh man disregard!

[kisiulak]

Me? But I am a girl :)

[mudzyn7]

Oh, well, then Holla, Holla!

[mudzyn7]

strange nick though:)
not for me to judge.

[kisiulak]

long story... :)

[mudzyn7]

Don't ask, don't tell, hehe.
