    What it means

    Literally “to drown someone in a spoonful of water.” Means to hate someone so intensely you’d destroy them with even the most minimal means — extreme spite or hostility.

    Vocabulary

    • utopić — to drown
    • łyżka — spoon
    • woda — water

    Grammar note

    'W łyżce wody' — 'łyżce' is locative of 'łyżka' after 'w'; 'wody' is genitive of 'woda' (a spoonful of water).
