Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present English borrowings used in informal spoken Polish. Special attention is paid to the latest loanwords, not yet noted in the dictionaries of Polish or of foreign terms. It is claimed, nevertheless, that the number of English loanwords in spoken Polish seems to be relatively small. What is more, they do not seem to pose any threat to the Polish language.
