potrzebie


there are five separate pr-nunciations for “potrzebie,” all of which are wrong.
(polish), v. – “i want” or “i need”, depending on context. used as an all-purpose nonsense word by u.s. humor publication, mad magazine. the pr-nunciation indicated for this definition is the correct one.
there is no real english example of the word “potrzebie”, as those who made it famous in america (writers of mad magazine) used it pretty much without rhyme or reason.
in need
the name of a spoof system of weights and measures once described in mad magazine. also the name of one of the units. the article was written by donald knuth. yes, this is apparently the same donald knuth who went on to develop the tex typesetting system and write the multivolume opus “the art of computer programming”.

hmmm..after reading all of the above i’m not really sure what the exact definition is…
