Beka

I have discovered a possible reason for the Poles' dislike of my nickname Becca.

Double c doesn't exist in Polish so Becca would be heard as Beka.

Beka is the third person form of the verb Bekac.

Rather than translate Bekac into English, I thought you might appreciate a sentence using the word...

'Becca beka' is Polish for 'Becca burps'.

And on that note I'm leaving for a few days... talk amongst yourselves, and prepare for lots of gushing about babies when I get back - I'm off for a family party in the deepest darkest northerly part of England. Toodle pip.
