Get the polish the Harleymug. A Polish rose is an hors d'oeuvre made with chipped beef (Buddig, for example) cream cheese and a dill pickel. Spread the soft cream cheese on the slice of beef, lay a pickel on it and roll it up. Then slice it cross wise into bite sized pieces. I am not aware of a proper culinary name for these. We've always called them Polish roses.

Get the Polish Slipmug. Polish Pete - a young man called Peter of Polish birth who his particularly proud of his heritage, but is really just a bloke from West Yorkshire. Loves the outdoors and will have a strong affliction with some sort of outdoor activity (e.g. cycling) to the point where it no longer becomes a hobby but is more a habit and will consume the majority of their time. Polish Pete will brag about being able to drink like a slav, but can only really handle a few pints and a mixer before he feels tired and wants to go to bed.
Cyclist 1: "I thought Polish Pete was Polish? He sounds like a loiner to me."
Cyclist 2: "He is Polish - he ain't no Leeds chap either, he's from Bradford."
Cyclist 1: "Ah, that makes sense. It's full of immigrants up there"

Get the Polish Toolmug. When you are sweaty and stinky already and you use a stick deodorant to attempt to cover the smell. Since you smell already, the smells just blend . This is usually done before work(skipping a shower) or on the way to the bar.
