I was avoiding this thread because, from the title, I thought it was going to be a shitty pun thread. So glad I didn't miss out on this.
 
My (half-Polish) three year old is looking at me weird after reading the OP. My mouth is aching from laughing too hard.

This is the GOAT thread. Give the man a tag.
 
I never know what to expect with some of these thread titles. Sometimes I assume it's just broken English, or maybe they're just drunk? I was like, is this person asking what car polish is made of? Like carnuba wax or some shit?

I would've never guessed this was what the OP actually meant. Lol

Hate to be the one to give it away but they're messing with you, OP.

By the 1940s, mass produced automobiles had been on the market long enough to begin saturating the average American household. However, all the men were away at war and carwashing generally did not fall within the mother's home duties at the time. Poland was one of the worst places hit by the war and, naturally, there were a lot of Polish refugees coming to the United States. Among the businesses they began opening up, carwashes were among the most successful. They got so good at it that their cleaning solutions and chemical formulas were way ahead of the competition by the time soldiers began returning home from the war. So car washes operated by Poles are generally known to have the highest quality service.

It's like a German butcher shop or Chinese laundromat. Polish car washes.

Lol must suck for people who learn English later in life and not naturally while growing up.

Iambic pentameter is a fucking bitch. It's essential to understanding English, but it's not easy to master. Trying to learn English as a second language must be a nightmare.

Nah, i dont see this as hard or much confusing personally. Every language has some words that sounds the same, but have a different meaning.
Like in polish, actual polish :), we have word 'zamek', which means both a lock and a castle. But in polish it is easier to distinguish it in sentence due the complex word conjugations.

So my girlfriend and I are seeing numerous car washes around town that are apparently Polish. We thought nothing of it the first time, thinking maybe it was a family owned thing or something, but we thought it was strange to see multiple Polish car washes, so we are thinking it must be a particular way they do the wash. I've never heard of this kind of wash though and am wondering if they're better somehow from regular car washes. What makes them different? Have you ever had one done? Any noticeable difference?

Some of the words in that image have different phonic pronunciations, but some only have different emphases. Hearing them you instantly know the difference, but seeing them could be very confusing. Plus, the difference in emphasis isn't set. Because of iambic pentameter and context, you could pronounce some of them the exact same way and mean something different because of the structure of the sentence. If you hadn't mastered that part of English, it could be very confusing.

Don't feel bad OP. One time I went to a store that had a slogan "Nobody beats our Prices!" on signs everywhere. I thought it was strange for a store to advertise that a competing store called Nobody had better prices than them. Of course, I was 6 at the time, not an adult like you are now.
