  What it means

  Literally “just to get rid of (it/them).” Means to do something in the most minimal way possible just to be done with it — to fob someone off, to go through the motions.

  Vocabulary

  • byle — just / as long as (particle)
  • zbyć — to get rid of / to brush off

  Grammar note

  'Byle' + infinitive expresses doing something to the bare minimum standard. 'Zbyć' is perfective.
