  What it means

  Literally “spit it out.” This can be used in two ways: literally, to tell someone to eject something from their mouth, or figuratively, to urge someone to say something they are hesitating to reveal. It is also used as a superstitious charm (like “knock on wood”) when someone says something unlucky.

  Vocabulary

  • wypluć — to spit out
  • powiedzieć — to say

  Grammar note

  'Wypluj' is the 2nd person singular imperative of 'wypluć'.

  Cultural context

  When used after someone predicts something bad (e.g., "I'm sure it's going to rain during the wedding"), saying "Wypluj to!" is a way to "undo" the bad omen.
