Talk:Dupek the Mighty

Can anyone confirm the trivia note? Seems abit strange to me... Xeon 08:33, 26 November 2006 (CST)

According to an online translator i used, Dupa means asshole.. so i'm guessing Dupek is a plural of it or something. - Mcmullen 09:58, 26 November 2006 (CST)
 * Personally i just find this coincidental but whatever, heh. Xeon 02:55, 27 November 2006 (CST)
 * That's strange, my grandmother says it means something different and she is Polish and speaks it. Hmm, maybe she is just going senile but i doubt it. 68.205.27.213 22:12, 2 December 2006 (CST)

Confirmation
Yeah, "Dupek" really means "an asshole" in Polish, can assure you :).

Dupa = ass and dupek means asshole. I'm Polish and I'm 100% sure. :)

Maybe it's slang and that's why the other guy's grandma doesn't know it? 132.203.83.38 21:44, 23 January 2007 (CST)
 * No slang at all. Maybe it was pronounced wrong to the grandma? Should be with "u" like in "Bush", not like in "duty". Check the word here: www.ling.pl


 * ~Confirmed.
 * I'm Pole, and when I've seen this mob for the first time I was like 'rotfl'. Its pronounced like Doopeck in Polish, by the way.

My wife was born and raised in Poland, English is her second language. I asked her what it means without mentioning translations I saw here. She said it isn't nearly as offensive as asshole, but has a similar meaning. A closer translation would be butthole or butthead. She said they used it around her house when someone was being silly, but they were not allowed to swear. - 3 August 2007

Yes, dupek means "asshole" for sure. I'm polish too and I was surprised I see polish word in english game. :)

I'm a native Polish speaker and I can confirm that "dupek" is a colloquial description of a stupid, annoying man. It's most often translated into English as "asshole" (that's because the word is derived from "dupa", which means "ass"), however it's slightly less offensive than English word. Nevertheless it's soooo funny for us Polish-speakers, when we fight a foe named "Asshole the Mighty" :D -- Alverel 22:07, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Decision time
All right, this has gone on for a very long time. Are we going to put that piece of trivia in or are we gonna keep it out? Getting tiring how it's constantly being added and then deleted, so how about a decision? Personally, I think it should stay --Gimmethegepgun 01:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

 * 9) I agree cleaning up the language would be preferable, but good trivia. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae   [Talk]  22:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Regardless if it's true, It's completely innapropriate and should be kept out of the main article. Keep it to the talk pages please.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 22:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
