Polish term or phrase: pić bruderszaft
Domyślam się, że pojęcie to jest obce obyczajowości krajów anglojęzycznych, gdyż nie ma tam czegoś takiego jak symboliczne przejście na ty. Czy ktoś z Was zetknął się z jakimś sensownym tłumaczeniem, czy może lepiej potraktować to opisowo, wyjaśnić co to takiego?

Explanation:
Ewentualnie z wyjaśnieniem - jest sporo przykładów w literaturze - patrz link, a użycie oryginalnej niemieckiej pisowni od razu wskazuje na pochodzenie zwrotu.
