Dieter notice and Polish or Ukrainian question - Dieter Schprokets - 04-28-2012
2 birds with one stone with this post.
RL keeps me busy, till perhaps tomorrow.
Secondly, my wife recalls from her Polish/Ukrainian Grandma a phrase from when she was little:
"I'll pinch your little suraka"
or
"I'll pinch you, little suraka"
What the heck is suraka?
Thank you

It's probably something colloquial and/or diminutive. Doesn't ring any bells straight away.

Poland and Ukraine are my neighbors...
Excuse me..err...maybe "sraka"?:DThen it means "I'll pinch your little ass"

Not really Polish or Ukrainian, but in my language, sraka=magpie.
And that bird has quite a universal fame.

EDIT: NVM, it's probably what Last Pilgrim said:P

As a Ukrainian I confirm that we have no *suraka* word...only sraka, as mentioned above...
besides *sraka* is a very rude word...

It must be that colorful dialect in the Karpathians...
(Western Ukraine, or eastern Poland...or wherever)
