sfagatować (kogoś)

‘to take advantage of someone for material gain, an easy life or popularity and not suffer the consequences’.

The word comes from the nickname of popular Instagram and Tik Tok influencer and MMA fighter Fagata (Agata Fąk), and refers to the assessment of her behavior in relation to recordings of her conversations revealed by her former friend Masha Graczykowska, in which she admits to entering into relationships with men because of their wealth or popularity. Among those mentioned was one of Legia’s footballers and Fagata’s ex-boyfriend – a youtuber associated with Team X – Stuu (Stuard Burton). This statement caused a storm on the internet and voices of outrage from celebrities such as Sylwester Wardęga. Internet users accused the influencer of using Stuu’s sincere emotional involvement to promote herself on social media.

The phrase sfagatować kogoś (somebody), i.e. ‘to act like Fagata’, refers to one of the vocabulary trends in youth slang, related to the creation of eponyms (word pronouns), which refer to a whole category of behavior, usually with negative connotations, e.g. (z)sasinić, chajzerować, spewuenić.
