The two Polish sentences every respectful Pole knows:

W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie.

And:

Stół z powyłamywanymi nogami.

I sure youtube will find you proper pronunciations.

Some called the mouse "gryzon" which means rodent, but that was very early days of computers in Poland - say 1990.

"Rodent" is occasionally used to reference the mouse in English hacker slang, as well. Example:

I often say rodent when I am trying to encourage my younger colleagues to use the command line.
