Notes

1. Title is a neologism constructed with words "hahaha", which indicates laughing, and "haczyk", which means a small hook. According to the lyrics and video clip, song pasquinades dres subculture (hook symbolise Nike logo).
2. Another neologism composed with words "kątem" (by a corner) and "plujący" (spiting). It is also a homophone: "kontemplujący" means somebody who contemplates and "kątem plujący", in literally translation, means spiting by a corner.
3. While "kciuk" means thumb, the title can be translated as "against-a-thumb": the lyrics speak about "rubbing the left thumb against the right thumb".
