Purposely censored Polish phrase "Jebać PiS" - which means "Fuck Law and Justice". Law and Justice is a party ruling in Poland since 2015. It was born in April 2019 after group of trolls overtook Facebook group of supporters of PiS candidate Małgorzata Wassermann for President of Cracov. After that in a short time, from a dog whistle, it achieved level of common recognition and become widely adapted during protests and as general symbol of discontent with PiS policies, that have had set Poland on a colliding course with European Union. Court of Justice of the European Union ruled multiple times against PiS changes to the judicatory system finding them illegal.

It appears in a video clip of Taco Hemingway's Polish rap song "Polskie Tango" strongly criticising condition of Polish democracy. It was released 2 days before Presidential Elections in August 2020 reaching few millions views on YouTube, before the election day. Elections have been won by marginal percentage by PiS candidate Andrzej Duda after heated campaign in which he dehumanised LGBT people and stated that "LGBT are worse than Communism".

With growing discontent phrase started to be used in its decrypted form. Uncensored JEBAĆ PIS, most probably by the accident, appeared even in FranceTV documentary about Uzbekistan "Ouzbékistan, sur la route de la Soie". Around timestamp 1:08:00 there is a rusted shipwreck on Aral Desert with JEBAĆ PIS painted in white on it.
