I have never heard about kiłbasa as a penis, but maybe 20 years ago, I am only 17.

gołąbki, kotlety, barszcz, wigilia, bułka

Yes, my friend - only heard, hardly ever spelt!

Although you'll notice I spelt the forms of alcohol (above) a lot better (but for the lack of a genuine Polish character set). I wonder why?

"kielbasa" ....a euphemism for penis
innocent bystanders please note that kielbasa is a type of smoked Polish sausage - and very nice it is too

Sounds to me like someone's pulling someone's leg here, Bill!

I suppose "pork sausage" is an occasional Brit euphemism/innuendo for penis, but that's strictly for belly laughs. Seaside and/or postcard humour, we'd call it.

I'll bet that you find the meaning has been attributed the other way around in Polish, as well.

Though I could well be wrong.
Adam?

Do you mean these words - śliwowica i wiśniówka ?

If so, I most definitely know what they are (and have consumed them very often here in England), although their original meanings may be different from what I think.

I can't even post a simple "hello"

You can say goodbye and piss off!

Here you are:

śliwowica- comes from "śliwka" which means plum, generally it is vodka made from plums.

wiśniówka- comes from "wiśnia" - cherry, generally vodka made from cherries.

śledź- herring, as you know very good with vodka:)

wigilia- X-mas Eve.

bułka- roll

barszcz- as soup made from beetroot

gołąbki- meat with rise wraped with a cabbage. Funny is that this is a plurar form of "gołąb"- pigeon

kotlety-chop
