I've just find (in wiktionary) the word "moonwise", meaning antisunwise/counterclockwise. But the moon moves the same way as the sun does. So is there some deeper meaning based off of some long-term patterns in lunar movement, or is it just simple antagonism sun×moon?

As a west Slav (Moravian) myself, I'm usually able to distinguish these two, especially in written form. The meme shows the characteristics of polish quite realistically.
Once I met a Slovak guy with clearly polish surname, so I asked him wether he had polish ancestors. He genuinely didn't get why would I think something like that...
I might try to compost it (and than separate the plastic and soil), unless I find better sollution, but I'm a bit afraid of animals messing it out from the composter.
Local trash company recycles the plastics (at least they claim so). I've also writtern them an e-mail, but I don't really expect to get an answer from them.
Even though the main reason is that it's allways has been so, I can see two minor arguments that haven't been said here yet:
- The gender of some words may vary between different regions (still within one language), so used gender gives you aditional information about the speaker.
(From Czech perspective this is not really a thing, becouse before you stumble across one of the few words that have this property, you can usually estimate the origin of the speaker by another signs.) - By asigning a gender to animals, you're proner to percieve them as living persons, compared with a language that classifies them as inanimate (English, "it").
(I am not backed by any scientific study here, it's only my feeling; and you could also claim that better solution would be ungendered language without animate/inanimate distinction, or classifying animals as animates.)
As far as I understand, we were not speaking about struggles with translating from one language to another, but about explaining a word within the original language.
What about words like "happiness" or "love"?
Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but you could be interested in "circular definition".
Antic roman hope.
I don't really care
where the money go
even though you've said
that I should have known.
I'm interested in
mechanism of vote
it's my nerdy thing
just let me enjoy't.
Let's use Condorcet,
not FPTP,
even two-round set
is pretty shitty.
'lectoral treshold
I want it to cease
so that we could vote
for minor parties.
Last year you could see
it has real effect
I would be happier
without this deffect.
Besides the current version, I like proposals no. 2, 20 and 34 (but the last one is too similar to the Estonian flag).
