Your Definition
a person who claims to be Polish, despite not speaking the Polish language, not being raised in Poland and usually only having a single Polish person in their family tree, which is how the 'Plywood Poles' explain their supposed ethnicity. They often use words not found in [contemporary] Polish language (like calling gołąbki dish 'golumpki', or calling their grandmothers 'busia' instead of 'babcia'), or bastardizing the traditional polish dishes by filling the pierogi with [cheddar cheese] The meaning comes from a pessimist [description] of Poland by its citizens as "Country made from plywood and cardboard" ("kraj z dykty i kartonu") when referring to failures made by the government. As such, a 'plywood pole' is someone who tries to be Polish for the sake of having any ancestry to be proud of, but fails.
