It is a word used by my elderly father-in-law who lives in Oświęcim, so you could very well be right. I realise now it is vulgar and inappropriate for an educational forum such as this. Apologies if I caused any offence. I would be interested to hear of the origins of the word though, if anyone knows any more detail.

I should explain. In a beginners' Polish language class a few years ago, the teacher told us that "bezlotek" was the (a?) word for "penguin". It struck me then as an odd name for a species because it sounded more like a description ("flightless") than a name. That might be why I remembered it.
If the word is so rarely used that you didn't know it, then I had better scrub it from my already small vocabulary. My apologies.
