No absolutly not. My boyfriend is Polish ( or may i say...POLAK) along with his family. He refers to his polish family friends as polaks. We also just came back from Poland and even there the tem Polak is used..but in polish of course.
Its just another way of saying Polish...aka Pole.. Polak

No that is like the nice way of saying polish person. saying Polack is an insult though


Moni
No. Calling someone polish a Polak is, but people from Poland call each other Polaks. It just depends whether or not you're trying to be insulting.


Malakai's Mummy :)
umm, i dont know what you people are talking about, my husband is polish, born and raised until he was 23 and then we moved to NZ, but the word "polak" actually means polish in polish language, it is not offensive in the slightest...........
check your facts and in answer to your question to call someone a Pole isnt an insult either............

No but Polack is offensive.


marybuko
No, not in my book it isn't. As a matter of fact, recently somone on YA asked a question about where the North Pole is located. That was an easy question for me to answer because I told her I was born in Poland, and I'm a Pole...and the name of the Northern town I was born in is Bartoszyce. So, no again to your question about being insulted if someone were to call me a Pole.


iamgodurtoo
No
It is derogatory to say "Polock"

Call someone Polack is insult , but not many Poles know that .
Offensive Slang Used as a disparaging term for a person of Polish birth or descent (The American Heritage® Dictionary ) .

P O L A C K

Definition: 1. usually disparaging: a Pole or person of Polish extraction

(from 20th Century)

2. (Mainly Jewish) a Jew whose family comes from Poland

3. a Pole, Russian, Czech dealing in Polish Jewesses: white

slavers’ cant from 20th century.

4. an immigrant from Poland

Other forms used : Pollack or Pollack or Pollock or Pollock or Polak or

polak.

Synonims: Pole, Pollack, Stash, Stella, Bohunk, Hunky, Hunkie (all

derogatory).

I guarantee if you call some people "Polack" in front of face you may loose some teeth .

Polak is offensive.
However, Poles are known to be so to say, "slow thinkers", so i think Polak hints on such ability of Poles
