The PRL was a nightmare, but I liked 1 thing.
For example, individual started talking about a Halina. Then the listener immediately added, “Stop, Halina!” and everyone was laughing.
Or individual mentioned a Jola. Then the listener immediately added, “Smart Jola!” and everyone laughed.
Someone started talking about Słupsk. Then the listener immediately added, “Houses in Słupsk!” and everyone was laughing.
Or individual mentioned a steelworks. Then the listener immediately added, “Fear in the steelworks!” and everyone laughed.
Or individual mentioned the component of potassium. Then the listener immediately added, “Potass in a ball!” and everyone was laughing.
The game of half-words (Gra half-head) allowed us to last the dark years of PRLu with humor. besides bad no one's playing it anymore. That's a shame, due to the fact that we're very short of joy in life.
