Plywood Pole

a person who claims to be Polish, despite not speaking the Polish language, not being raised in Poland and usually only having a single Polish person in their family tree, which is how the 'Plywood Poles' explain their supposed ethnicity. They often use words not found in contemporary Polish language (like calling gołąbki dish 'golumpki', or calling their grandmothers 'busia' instead of 'babcia'), or bastardizing the traditional polish dishes by filling the pierogi with cheddar cheese

The meaning comes from a pessimist description of Poland by its citizens as "Country made from plywood and cardboard" ("kraj z dykty i kartonu") when referring to failures made by the government. As such, a 'plywood pole' is someone who tries to be Polish for the sake of having any ancestry to be proud of, but fails.

"I'm Polish, actually, my great-grandfather immigrated from Poland to the US in 1946"
"Do you speak Polish?"
"No, but I love golumpkas and pierogis"
"Heh, you're just a plywood pole then"

plywood pusher

Plywood pushers are people that say they can skate but actually can't skate, because there fuckin dirty posers I hate it. But anyway, they sit there in front of the skater kids and watch 'em skate for a while then decide tot ake their crappy "world industries" board out there and give it a shot. Not only do the skater kids laugh at him continuously, but they also laugh at the fact he has a shitty ass board that the stlye/company went out like a lamp light liek 5 years ago... Some of the "plywood pushers" would just go out there and try there best, and maybe get the honor to be the chosen one to hang out in the skater clique. There are also really fuckin retarded plywood pushers. they will sit there in their basement and actually chissel some of the paint off the bottom to look like they have been thrashing it up hardcore.

Sk8r: So, you skate man?
PWP: Yea. *scared and hoping the REAL sk8r dosnt ask him to try anyhting*
Sk8r: Cool, try a nosegrind on that rail.
PWP: A what?
Sk8r: A nose grind.
**PWP attempts to try, gets near the rail and pushes his board across the rail.**
Sk8r: dude, all you are is a plywood pusher.
