Polish term or phrase: cyngiel
Tłumaczę tekst krótki, dość potoczny, lekko literacki, z płatnym zabójcą w roli głównej. I tu słowo "cyngiel" (czyli właśnie ów płatny zabójca) przewija się jak na złość co drugą linijkę. Przykłady z kontekstu "nasłać na kogoś cyngli", "który cyngiel się tego podejmie." Tekst jest dość potoczny, ale nie wulgarny.

Z góry dziękuję za pomoc.

Explanation:
Pierwsze skojarzenie - nie jest to język bardzo potoczny, ale na pewno nie formalny.
