In Polish the word for "mammals" is "ssaki" which comes from "ssać" which means "to suck". So we are all suckers in Polish.

That's interesting that the Polish word is so similar to the English word, since Polish is of Slavic origin and English is Germanic.

Same in Spanish

Mamífero = Mammal

Mamar = To suck
