Grypsera (Polish pronunciation: [ɡrɨˈpsɛra]: from Low German Grips meaning "intelligence", "cleverness"; also drugie życie, literally "second life" in Polish) is a distinct nonstandard dialect or prison slang of the Polish language, used traditionally by recidivist prison inmates. It evolved in the 19th century in the areas of Congress Poland: it is said to have originated in Gęsiówka, a prison in Warsaw.
