I remember when my Polish friend was like "Wrocław" is pronounced "Vrots-loff." wtf?
It's pretty close to how you would pronounce that in German if you read it for the first time
German would probably be spelled Wrotzlow. But I believe it's called Breslau in German for real.
You are right with both.
Correction: "Vrots-waff". Ł, ł sounds the same as W, like in "why".
Low effort.
At least pick some real sounding ones, like "Przemysław Mądrzykowski", or something...
Most people don't know what "real sounding" sounds like. Just like this German word isn't real: "Feierverschwindungsgefühl"
Party-disappearance-feelings? Or “Feeling of party fading” Man the Germans have a word for everything! But seriously any real words compounded together that make anything near to sense, is a word in German.
"Feierverschwindungsgefühl"
Technically, that is a word in German, it means "feeling of celebration enshrinkening". Might not be very popular, but it follows the rules 😉
Enshrinkening? Moar liek "vanishing" amirite?
Well, it would come from "ver- schwind ~~-en~~ -ung", so the closest translation to English might be something like "for-dwindling"... but the English "for-" seems to have lost some of the versatility of the German "ver-", so the closest modern word that comes to mind is using the "shrink" meaning of "schwinden", and translate as "enshrinkening". Ultimately they'd all be synonyms.
No matter how much you try to hack the word into pieces, dude: "Verschwinden" translates to "to vanish".
Meanwhile, "to vanish" has several synonyms, and it just happens some can be built following almost the same composition rules.

And the optometrist asked him if he could read the last line of the eye chart, to which he replied “Read it? That’s my wife’s maiden name”
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...
Maybe because Slovak and Polish are both West Slavic languages? So they are similar.
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.
Sir, would you like a side to vowels to go with that consonant clusters?
"How do you spell that?"

For a native Ukrainian, this is just a pattern matching between Latin and Cyrillic
