Episode 151: You Want To Eat All Brains?

Chcesz pozjadać wszystkie rozumy?

English Phonemes: “htseh[sz] poh-ZYAH-dahch F[SZ]IHS-tkyeh roh-ZOO-mih”

Literal Translation: You want to eat all brains?

Elegant Translation: You want to eat up all the brains?

English Equivalent: To be smarter than the average bear.


This is just a funny way of asking someone if they aim to surpass every brain out there. The phrasing implies part ambition, part inflated ego. There’s nothing wrong with ambition, but too much ego leads to trouble! You you can use this phrase with a friend (it’s informal!) as a friendly supportive ribbing.
