Oh glorious Dyngus Day...last year at the Library, hot as hell, packed like sardines...and the polka band went from "I don't want her, you can have her, she's to fat for me" into the Ramones "I wanna be sedated". It was Dyngalicious. In support of all things Dyngus, I will eat the forbidden donut...
DYNGUS DAY AT THE CENTRAL TERMINAL - MARCH 24 2008, 5pm-11pm --- Central Terminal Events .
oh, yeah. and "paczki" means "packages", as opposed to "pa,czki", which means doughnuts.
Dan, Just so you don't get lost in case you decide to attend...this event is being held on FIllmore Avenue in Buffalo. :)
Andrzej,
Panini, ravioli and canolli are just a handful of words that are also plurals, used by most interchangeably for both the single and plural version of the word. I was unable to find any reference to Paczek Day or Pa,czek Day on the web; only Paczki Day, the version that the organization in charge of this event is using. It is unfortunate that foreign words often undergo changes when they are adapted for common use.
Thanks for the Polish lesson Andy. How strange that the meaning of a word can change with a comma. I think I will stick to the Romance Languages. Much easier and they sound much better too.
