The word *Bączek* |
journal, meta |
My last name, Bączek, has multiple meanings. Here I've collected my favourites:
- Spinning top (the toy that spins)
- Spins, barrel rolls and other similar aerial maneuvers (in Polish we call that kręcić bączki, which roughly translates to spin a bączek)
- Fart (which leads to many funny/cringey) situations as people often call me by my surname rather than my name
And the winner goes to:
A diminutive form of the word Bąk (Bumblebee)
Here's a collection of hand-picked Bączek pictures, following this interpretation:
