bober

Bober – an allusion to memes and videos featuring a beaver (a fur-bearing animal) collected under the phrase: “What a nice bober,” e.g., https://memy.jeja.pl/326627,ale-fajny-bober.html. In this case, the slang uses the incorrect nominative singular form – bober instead of bóbr, likely inspired by the regional word bober, meaning bób (a type of legume) or the nickname of a well-known rapper – Bober (Patryk Bobryk), as well as the common Polish surname Bober. The humorous element also reveals itself in the metonymy when the word is used to denote a person who behaves irrationally or is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The word itself has been recorded in slang dictionaries since 2007, referring to an unshaven pubic area and the phrase czochrać bobra (to scratch the beaver), and later as a synonym for marijuana or the smoke produced while smoking.
