    I'm looking for a Polish word.....

    It's a five letter word, beginning with B, ending with K and R in the middle....

    Any suggestions? I don't think it's a particularly complimentary word...

    I posted this in the language forum but perhaps here would be better.

    Burek?
    It's something like 'culchie' or 'bogger' I think.

    **actually wait until a Polish person answers. I can't find any reference to that word in any dictionaries.
    I don't know how it came into my head. Maybe I invented a word.

    ***second edit..I'm not as mental as I thought.
    Burak.

    What comes to my mind:
    Barak – barrack
    Barek – small bar, minibar
    Berek – children 'catch' game
    Burak – beet, (regional may be as a light insult)
    Burek – dog name (never heard the name was given someone else)
    Borek – boride (chemical compound)

    Hope this helps.

    Burak - literally "beetroot" roughly translates into "culshie"
