Kozi róg (m)

horn of a she-goat
Dudy

Contemptuous nickname, from Mikołaj Rej (1505-1569) [also known as Mikołaj Rey of Nagłowice; ws], »Wizerunk własny żywota człowieka poczciwego…« [An image of one’s own good life…] (Warszawa, 1560), in which he mentions it as "A kozi róg za uchem jako świnia wrzeszczy" [And the goat’s horn behind his ear screams like a pig].
