I do know a little Polish, but not for reasons you would expect. I work for
a meat packing company and a lot of the floor workers are from various
Eastern European countries, mostly Poland. I'm a bit of a mutt, I've got
everything from Polish to Irish and everything in-between, and a little
American Indian just to make it interesting.

sometimes called in American English...
