          Is that a Polish swear?! Teach me so I can properly communicate with the hip, young Poles.

          Well, that's basically it: "Life is brutal and full of zasadzkas and sometimes kopas w dupas" (half Polish, half English for "Life is brutal and full of ambushes and sometimes kicks in the... buttocks).

          I don't really know where it originated, but that's a very popular line among the young people. It has been known for at least 10 years, I guess.

                'trudne' doesn't have the double meaning that 'hard' has. It only has the 'difficult' meaning. 'complicated', maybe.
