Frank I think your answer is a bit too literal; I need a slang term
petrolhead Feb 27, 2018:
They found him out ... for what/the b*****d he was.
Ewa Dabrowska (asker) Feb 27, 2018:
to znaczy, że wszyscy wiedzą co z niego za ziółko i żadna dziewczyna nie da się naciągnąć; w szerszym znaczeniu "spalony" to taki co nie ma powrotu bo coś schrzanił
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Feb 27, 2018:
A co to znaczy to polsku?
