Polish term

dym

May offend Polish to English Other Slang slang
I'm translating text messages full of colloquial terms, slang, abbreviations, etc. so will probably be asking a lot of questions as the language has evolved considerably since my teenage days...

anyway, this word appears often and it refers to extraordinary experiences in the bedroom...
"Tu będzie niebo na ziemi, a w sypialni... dym"

or

"Dla tego uczucia zrobie wszystko, a jak jeszcze kiełbaska będzie, to będzie taki dym, ze już się doczekać nie mogę" (somehow I don't think she's talking about culinary delights around a campfire)
Proposed translations (English)
1 heat and smoke
3 +1 getting busy, humping, fooling around, shagging, put one's p in a v, banging, pounding,
3 steam

Where there is smoke, there is fire.
Joanna Carroll (asker) Jun 15, 2016:
quite right Dariusz! apologies. i'll email the moderator to change it.
Darius Saczuk Jun 15, 2016:
@Joanna Hm, hot and steamy is one of the answers I provided.
Tomasz Poplawski Jun 10, 2016:
Lucky you, Joanna, if you can do it. In the courts I go to, people are usually inpatient when translators/interpreters go into split-hair details.
Joanna Carroll (asker) Jun 10, 2016:
I use annotations extensively. The target audience is of course important but for the court, or more importantly, for the jury, to understand the full picture the translation must be as close to the original as possible. I therefore provide the translation that give the reader of translation the same experience as the reader of the original would get. annotations are there to explain ambiguities, etc.
Tomasz Poplawski Jun 10, 2016:
Then I think your choices are limited to "smoke" because otherwise, how can you defend your choice during a cross-examination?
Joanna Carroll (asker) Jun 10, 2016:
@ Tomasz The agency hasn's specified but it's most likely going to be used in court.
Tomasz Poplawski Jun 10, 2016:
Purpose Joanna,
Is this a forensic/court translation, or something much less stringent? That would certainly affect the choice

Za dawnych czasów wszystko było bezdymnie. Wiemy co to jest, ale można coś zostawić dla wyobraźni.
