Batiar

Batiar

Batiar (also sometimes spelled as "baciar") was a popular Polish interbellum name of lower-class inhabitants of the city of Lwow (now: Lviv, Ukraine). A typical batiar was usually poor, but honest and generous and with great sense of humor. Among most famous batiars, there were such names as radio personalities Kazimierz Wajda and Henryk Vogelfänger of the Weso%C5%82a Lwowska Fala radio show, as well as football star Michal Matyas, who played for Pogon Lwow and the national team of Poland. Batiars spoke their distinctive dialect of the Polish language, which is called Ba%C5%82ak.

The very word batiar is of Hungarian origin, where "betyar" means an impertinent, yet witty person.
