This brought back some good memories. Similarly “Dupa” is the only Polish word I know for similar reasons. Except in my case grandma was (jokingly) threatening to whoop my ass if I got into trouble.

It’s so fun to me how Slavic languages overlap so much in words but not much in alphabets? And I think my grandma was threatening to whoop the TV dinner’s ass? Or maybe the oven’s?

Yeah! I remember her saying she could sort of understand a few other languages if she heard but not necessarily speak them. Also that totally makes sense - few things are more cathartic than cursing out some inanimate object that’s wronged you IMO.
