  What it means

  Literally “on gas.” Means going fast, at full speed — “stepping on the gas,” “full throttle.” Also colloquially means drunk.

  Vocabulary

  • gaz — gas; accelerator pedal

  Grammar note

  'Na gazie' uses the locative of 'gaz' after 'na' — state/condition.

  Cultural context

  The dual meaning (fast driving and being drunk) reflects the colourful ambiguity of Polish colloquial speech.
