-awka

The suffix –awka signals the name of a thematic, closed Facebook discussion group focused on a specific question (e.g., Pytawka), the idea of humanism (Humanistawka), a specific sense of humor (Cringawka), community (Studentawka), etc., which is associated with the popular page Jak będzie w akapie? (abbreviated as JBwA; Jebawka). The acronym AKAP refers to anarcho-capitalism—a political and economic system proposed by American economist Murray Rothbard (see also ancap in English). For young internet users, it has become a pretext for creating a branching and unrestricted structure of threads, unconstrained by the limitations of topic, language, or convention. Thus, JBwA serves as a symbolic identification for a multi-thousand-strong Facebook subculture.

The topics of the groups are created in two ways:

1.By recreating the structure of a question, e.g., Jak będzie w anty-śmieszkizmie? (How will it be in anti-humor?); Jak będzie w kosmosie? (How will it be in space?); Jak będzie w depresji? (How will it be in depression?); Jak będzie w charytatywności? (How will it be in charity?);

2.By derivation with the suffix -awka, analogous to the ending of the abbreviation Jebawka (e.g., Bezbekawska / Sypialniawka / Żalawka / Menelawka);

3.By syntactic expansion, e.g., Jak będzie w akapie – sekcja mitomanów (How will it be in AKAP – section of mythomaniacs); Jak będzie w akapie – sekcja past (How will it be in AKAP – section of pastes); Jak będzie w akapie – sekcja prac domowych (How will it be in AKAP – section of homework).
