  What it means

  Literally “park of the stiff ones.” This is a dark, macabre, and highly colloquial slang term for a cemetery. “Sztywny” (stiff) is a slang term for a corpse (similar to “stiff” in English).

  Vocabulary

  • park — park
  • sztywny — stiff / rigid
  • cmentarz — cemetery

  Grammar note

  'Sztywnych' is the genitive plural of the adjective 'sztywny', here functioning as a noun meaning "dead people."

  Cultural context

  This is quite cynical and dark humor. It is definitely not used in polite or grieving contexts, but rather in rough slang or gritty fiction.
