TIL in Polish, the word "łoś" (literally a moose or an elk) can also mean "sucker", "loser", "not good-looking person" (like wearing outdated clothes).
Interesting enough, Russian has a totally unrelated but very similarly sounding word Лох (Loch, identical in sound to the Scottish word for Lake, in Polish letters it would be approximately łoch) with a similar meaning: a sucker, a simple person, a person easy to trick. This word was borrowed into several geographically neighboring languages like Ukrainian and Armenian. #
