Episode 142: He/She/It Laughs Itself How Idiot To Cheese!

Śmieje się jak głupi do sera!

English Phonemes: “SHMYEH-yeh shyeh yahk GWOO-pee doh SEH-rah”

Literal Translation: He/She/It laughs itself how idiot to cheese!

Elegant Translation: He/She/It laughs like an idiot to cheese!

English Equivalent: To laugh inappropriately.

This is a great saying for a situation where someone laughs without a good reason. Either they don’t know what’s going on, they feel awkward, they feel nervous, or a myriad of other scenarios. The end result being that they laugh without a reason. They look and sound bonkers. 

Extra bonus usage case: If you find yourself in a scenario where someone says “Say cheese” before taking a picture, your sweet come-back could be “jak głupi do sera” and I guarantee any Polish speakers in the group will laugh outright. :-)
