  1. It’s shifted to podlasie and Bydgoszcz (jebać bydgoszcz) recently, I think

  2. And yet almost no one knows why.

    In 1920, when Silesia was annexed to Poland, people from the Russian partition came to Silesian factories. Mostly illiterate, uneducated manual workers. Their otherness, lack of skills and “barbarism” terrified the Silesians ( where 96% of the inhabitants were literate after primary school), hence the animosity towards Sosnowiec, the nearest town that was once under the Russian rule. All the jokes about the border and passports were because of the recent annexation of Silesia. Many then would prefer not to be in one country with the savages from Sosnowiec.

    It makes no sense today when a Pole from Warsaw laughs at Sosnowiec, even though he was under the same partition, on the same side of the border. More similar stories one can read in “Kajś” by Zbigniew Rokita.

  3. We have also Bydgoszcz, entire Podlasie, some times I also heard about Rzeszów

  4. I wonder if Milton Keynes one involves Red Bull in some capacity

  5. Jesus, Sosnowiec is about right I should know, I lived there

  6. By Polish people you mean Germans (Silesian)? /s

    I personally would rather say Radom, or Pcim, but sosnowiec is also in top.

    Citizens of bydgidzcz/ Toruń would chose each other most likely.

  7. Tbh Murcia is one of the greatest places to live in Spain.

  8. As an Englishman living in Poland, I didn’t expect to find my home city ridiculed in this subreddit, lol. In fairness, Milton Keynes is a new city and clearly something has rubbed off as I have lived 15 years in Gdynia, another new city.

  9. Geneva is probably getting made fun of because of the Geneva Convention right?

  10. 🇮🇪🫱🏻‍🫲🏾🇨🇾🫱🏾‍🫲🏻🇬🇷

  11. Nope. I’m from Sosnowiec and I like it. It’s a good city IMO.

  12. Nie bezie mnie tu obcokrajowiec mojego Sosnowca obrażał. Mój Sosnowiec mogę obrażać ja.

  13. We also have bydgoszcz, radom ,łódź and i think i missed one but i aint sure

  14. Oh no, no data for Belarus… Should probably be a Babruisk or Schuchynschyna (Ščučynščyna)

  15. I think that in the 90s it was Wałbrzych, in the 2000s Sosnowiec and since then few places became synonymous with backwardness like Radom, Bydgoszcz etc.
