मतलब
to go crazy
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The phrase reflects the 'Polish gloom' (polska chandra) and the way Poles use humor to deal with the absurdity of daily life and bureaucracy. In modern Polish 'korpo-mowa' (corporate speak), this phrase is used to bond over burnout and the pointlessness of certain tasks. The movie 'Dzień Świra' is the ultimate cultural touchstone for 'dostać szmerów'. It shows a man driven mad by the 'murmurs' of everyday life.
