Cultural Note
'Hejt' is the Polonized spelling of English 'hate,' specifically referring to online hatred, cyberbullying, and hateful comments. The word has become mainstream in Poland — it's used in news media, school anti-bullying campaigns, and everyday conversation. Polish has developed a whole word family: 'hejter' (hater), 'hejtować' (to hate/troll), 'hejtowani' (being hated on). Poland passed anti-cyberbullying laws partly because 'hejt' became such a recognized social problem. The word is so established that many Poles don't even think of it as English anymore — it's just Polish internet vocabulary.
