Po chuj? - What the f**k for?
Po chuj ci ten samochód? - What the f**k do you need that car for? Nie ma chuja / Ni chuja - there's no way it's going to happen W pizdu - to go to hell Wszystko poszło w pizdu! - Everything went to hell! These are very vulgar expressions used mainly by uneducated people from the lowest social class, mainly by men, so I wouldn't learn them. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Sorry, I disagree. I interact daily with highly educated people and yet I hear such expressions quite regularly in my entourage. It all depends on the setting. I don't personally like nor use these, but it's still useful to know what they mean.

"Zajebisty" isn't considered vulgar according to the dictionary. Although older people might be shocked hearing it. It's colloquial so it's better to use it among friends and young people. But it is a very useful word to know.
