General expletives

• Wypierdalaj - "Get the fuck out": often used to react to heels and other unwelcome characters.
  vˌɨpʲɛrdˈalaj 🌶️🌶️
• Chuj ci w dupę - "Up your arse": popular and general use expletive referring to anal sex.

• [Miasto], a gdzie to kurwa jest? - "[City], where the fuck is that?": used to insult a heel's hometown.
  May need extra words to match the rhythm. For Gustav Gryffin's four-syllable hometown of Bartoszyce no padding is needed, but for Isnorr's Poznań the chant starts with Miasto Poznań ("Poznań city").

Songs

• Pan kiedyś stanął nad brzegiem: this is Barka, a religious song that was especially liked by the Polish Pope John Paul II. Fans may start to randomly sing it at 21:37 (9:37 PM), the exact hour of his death. It is not in the Pope's memory, however, but rather the opposite - mocking his cult deeply enshrined in Polish Catholicism. Sometimes also sang for Greg of Kombat Pro Wrestling in his Pope of Polish Wrestling gimmick - which he seemed to enjoy.
• Mam tak samo jak ty: Sen o Warszawie by Czesław Niemen, sometimes sang before PpW shows begin. Also a hymn of Legia Warszawa, so used by extension for babyface reception of Legia Łysych.
• Nie rzucim ziemi skąd nasz ród: Rota, a 1908 patriotic poem by Maria Konopnicka. Sometimes heard in matches involving German heels.
