  What it means

  Literally “even a horse would laugh.” Means something is so absurd or ridiculous that it would make even a horse laugh — “enough to make a cat laugh,” “utterly ridiculous.”

  Vocabulary

  • koń — horse
  • uśmiać się — to burst out laughing

  Grammar note

  'By się uśmiał' is the conditional of 'uśmiać się' — 'would laugh'. The horse as the least likely creature to laugh makes the absurdity total.
