English term

to dish it out

English to Polish Other Slang
Mamy parę, która wcale sie nie kłóci. Druga proponuje im zrobienie sobie karczemnej awantury, aby oczyścić atmosferę. Mówią do pierwszej pary, jak przed pojedynkiem:

MĄŻ2: Okay, name-calling, screaming and dish-throwing are allowed. Any reference to your opponent's mother is considered a low blow and is encouraged.

ŻONA2: Yes. And, remember, you don't have to be able to take it to dish it out.
Proposed translations (Polish)
3 dać upust (swoim emocjom)/wyładować się na kimś
3 tu: śmiało czyń drugiemu, co tobie niemiłe
3 tu: bez szwanku

One pair is goading the other to fight dirty for the sheer entertainment of it. What do they care if the second pair bloody themselves in the process? I think this is a comedy, done in good fun.
I also believe in "taking the high road," but sometimes you can "provoke a saint into a kick."

I've always thought that when fighting (not arguing) you either take an insult (on the chin), swallow it and keeping your mouth shut withdraw with dignity or you instantly pay back. Must have missed the subtle moment in between:)
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Feb 15, 2014:
This is the so-called "dirty fighting" or "fighting dirty" - everything is allowed: insults, low blows, mentioning one's mother. Usually, an a fight, you have to be able to "take it" in order to "dish it out." Here, you do not have to be able to "take" insults. You simply "dish out" (serve) your own. Dirty indeed!
malgorzatamaria Feb 15, 2014:
Panowie, nawiązując do Waszej dyskusji czy nie jest to zatem coś w rodzaju: "you don't have to take (your opponent's) insults with dignity", co przekładałoby się na "obelg nie musicie/nie należy przyjmować z godnością", czy "nie jest wskazane, by obelgi/zniewagi..."
A może w ogóle pobłądziłam? Późno jest...

nie tylko brać ale i dać (oddać) z nawiązką
geopiet Feb 14, 2014:
wyjechać (na nim) wziąć na jęzor
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Feb 14, 2014:
Of course, I know.:)

Frank, I am kidding, it's Friday afternoon in here ;)
Thanks! Deeply and honestly appreciate!
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Feb 14, 2014:
@Jacazwawa. Don' t get mad. Now that you know, you can come up with a better answer. The analogy here is mixed: boxing (take it in on the chin; have a strong chin) and dishing it out (serving a portion of your own). Get to work.
George BuLah (X) Feb 14, 2014:
;) "Jaca can dish it out, but he gets mad if you criticize him."

Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Feb 14, 2014:
Take it = take it on the chin = znosic po "mesku"
Dish it out = isc na atak
George BuLah (X) Feb 14, 2014:
moja propozycja opierała się na zwrocie "krytykować coś/kogoś", but MacroJanus... dished me out a good lesson ;)
George BuLah (X) Feb 14, 2014:
MacroJanus uważa, że zupełnie odwrotnie -- "ochrzaniać", a nie - "nie ochrzaniać"
Tak?

tu: śmiało czyń drugiemu, co tobie niemiłe

Propozycja ma może trochę moralizatorskie źródło, ale chyba nieźle oddaje sens.
