      Possibly? It definitely comes from a very different time. I always thought of this as a kind of national embarassement but now I learn it’s not just a polish thing.

      I’ve noticed that recently when older poles try to start a clap most younger ones scoff at them and roll their eyes and it fizzles out very quickly
