A phrase that used to mean 'absolutely yes' when Pope John Paul II was the pope, but now it means 'no'. It's a substitute for your true answer. Instead of saying no outright, you lead the person to your answer by saying 'is the pope Polish'? And of course, the answer is 'no', thus implying that 'no' is the answer to the question they asked you before.
