crush / crushi

Borrowed from English youth slang, the term refers to an object of infatuation, a person whom someone has fallen in love with or is attracted to. This word was submitted in the PWN poll for Youth Word of the Year 2016. It appears in both its original form and a fully adapted Polish version. In colloquial English, the word also means ‘love, passion, obsession.’ When referring to a female, it sometimes appears in the form of ‘girl crush’ or ‘crushi.’ See also: mieć na kogoś krasza.
