Every time I write an email on my phone in Gmail, it pops up a blurb asking "Polish?" so I assume this is a term they're trying to repurpose. But my first thought every time I see it is that it's asking to translate my message into the Polish language.

They can polish a turd all they want, but at the end of the day, it's still shit.
