(o) cholibka

Cor! Damn! A euphemistic exclamation expressing embarrassment, ignorance, surprise, or awe.  The word cholibka is often used by Hagrid, one of the characters in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series of novels (translated by Andrzej Polkowski, who most likely invented this word). Due to the immense popularity of the novels and the films based on them, cholibka has found its way into the language of both young people and slightly older “Potterheads.” Recently, the word has gained even more attention thanks to memes featuring Hagrid’s distorted face from the computer game “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone,” and it can be used as a punchline to online comments.

(English translation: When you realize it’s almost the end of August, and all you’ve managed to do is to lie down and watch Netflix… cholibka)
