  What it means

  Literally “to look for a hole in the whole.” Means to nitpick — to find fault where there isn’t any, to look for problems in something that is perfectly fine.

  Vocabulary

  • szukać — to look for / to search
  • dziura — hole
  • cały — whole / intact

  Grammar note

  'Dziury' is the genitive of 'dziura' — 'szukać' always takes the genitive in Polish. 'W całym' uses the locative of the nominalized adjective 'cały' (the whole thing).
