What would be the highbrow, high-register way to call a whore/bitch? For example, if you're discussing a movie that has a stereotypical character who fits this description perfectly?

Does bladź have a wide usage? The Russian version, блядь, is used pretty much the same way as kurwa (in its literal meaning as well as a "comma" in spoken language) and just as frequently.

No, not at all. I had never seen it before and had to look it up. It must be very dialectal or archaic if it's used at all.

I know, it's the gender transgression that made it funny. Besides, insults reserved for women are always harsher (in any language, I suppose) than those reserved for men, which just exemplifies sexism of course. In English, for instance, calling a woman a bitch and calling a man a jerk doesn't have the same implications, so I wouldn't mind calling a man a bitch if he was being one (although I don't use that kind of language...). It's the same in french (salope vs salopard = completely different level of vulgarity) and, from what I gather, in polish (kurwa vs fiut). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

So if we could perhaps return to the theme of the original post now that all that kurwa stuff appears to be done with
and give some more reasons for why people like the language and what keeps them motivated, inspired and enjoying the process of learning it, that would be świetny (great). Dziękuję bardzo. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I'll be glad to read what people like about learning Polish so I concur. Just a small correction though. It should be świetnie instead świetny (refers to masculine nouns). That would be świetnie = byłoby świetnie. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I like that it's very expressive because of the R and the "schh" sounds. Also, ever since I was a child, the letter K was
my favourite (I was a geek), and there's a lot of it in polish! 1 person has voted this message useful |
