Signification
No worries or it is fine.
Contexte culturel
The rise of 'spoko' reflects a generational shift from the formal 'Pan/Pani' culture to a more relaxed, Americanized social style. In the 90s, 'spoko' was associated with the 'blokersi' (youth living in housing estates) and hip-hop culture. In Polish gaming servers (like League of Legends or CS:GO), 'spoko' is the standard way to accept a strategy or forgive a mistake. Expats often find 'spoko' to be the first slang word they master because it's so versatile and grammatically easy.
