Now, I don't know Polish, so *maybe* there are some fine translation related points not understood, but... It is a colloquial verb that can mean anything from doesn't matter (okay) to it is bad for you (to harm). Real meaning of szkodzić (injure). Google has szkodzi meaning harms. The okay for Clinton and Obama is much more interesting than the harms for Trump. The lower case word trump is atut. Translating 'trump is harmful' to Polish is atut jest szkodliwy (jest = is, szkodliwy (adjective) = harmful)This translator has: Trump szkodzi = Trump is harming Obama szkodzi = Obama hurts Clinton szkodzi = Clinton is bad All negatives. I hope someone who is fluent in Polish chimes in because Polish colloquialisms can be weird. For instance my g-grandmothers just slapped a ska onto anything that was not a word when they left Poland - like purse they made purska (portmonetka), televisionska (telewizja), etc. Heck, we know better and we do not use babcia for grandmother, we use babcie (which is a plural... for one person?) Make it up as you go along was my family's Polish language motto! Edited July 12, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Idiots at USA Today Apparently Ignorant of the American Eagle. “Before we delve into this lunacy about the eagle in question, it should be noted that USA Today is the CNN of newspapers. Just as CNN would have no audience whatsoever if it weren’t being broadcast to people stuck in airport terminals, USA Today wouldn’t have any readership if it weren’t being given away for free in hotels all over the country. Honestly, I rarely read it when I’m on the road and it’s delivered to my hotel room door every weekday.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
