    What it means

    Literally “to the ass.” Means rubbish, terrible, worthless — used to dismiss something as completely useless or awful. One of the most common vulgar expressions in Polish.

    Vocabulary

    • do — to
    • dupa — ass / backside (vulgar)

    Grammar note

    'Dupy' is the genitive of 'dupa' after 'do'.

    Cultural context

    Despite being vulgar, 'do dupy' is used so frequently it barely registers as offensive in casual conversation.
