Do you remember in episode 2 of Jessica Jones when Je-Jo briefly talks to a car mechanic? I do. I remember every little detail of that scene because at the end, the guy spoke Polish. As Jones left, he said something like "Good girls" but he could've said "Ruthless cuckoos" and I still would have felt, well, proud.

That's how you'd say it in Polish. Yes, our language is the Welsh of Eastern Europe.
See, I grew up seeing the U.S. as a symbol of wealth and power, and I guess part of me still feels that way. That's why hearing Polish or a mention of Poland on American TV feels like ... validation, I guess, even when it's not in the best context. Like in the episode of Person Of Interest when the main character goes against Polish gangsters. You can tell because one of them had a giant Polish eagle tattooed on his chest.
