Polish term

zygam tymi otrębami

Polish to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
This expression appears in a letter from a man in prison. The letter is asking a friend/relative to send him some money at the prison. The sentence is as follows:

I wyslijcie pięniądze bo zygam już tymi otrębami.

The handwriting is not great so the actual Polish may be slightly different but this is what it looks like.

Thank you in advance.

9 odpowiedzi! I rozmaitość taka, jakby chodziło co najmniej o tłumaczenie Eliota :))
Andrew Stanleyson Jan 14, 2008:
a żeby oddać brak edukacji, dałbym dam zamiast damn
Sonia Clough (asker) Jan 14, 2008:
I just wanted to say thank you for pointing out the mistake in the original. I've been getting quite a lot of handwritten stuff lately and it's really useful to know the kind of mistakes that might crop up :)
Edyta Sawin Jan 14, 2008:
Good eye:) It is RZYGAC:) Even the most educated people make mistakes sometimes:) I would give the person writing this a benefit of a doubt. He might be poorly educated, or he could simply have made a grammatical error.
Maciek Drobka Jan 14, 2008:
C'mon people, make your translations a little more rzygam-like! :o)
Marek Daroszewski (MrMarDar) Jan 14, 2008:
indicating poor education. HTH
Marek Daroszewski (MrMarDar) Jan 14, 2008:
Sonia, FYI - the proper spelling is 'rzygam' (the actual verb is 'rzygać') (pronunciation however same, similar to the last sound of the English 'beige'). The level of error is more or less the same as in the English 'rulez, woz' instead of 'rules, was'

I spew with the damn bran

it is better in a prison slang, spew = rzygam, nie wzmiotuje, albo I am sick of it. In m.h.o
