What does “kto tu to polozyl” mean in Polish?

A comedy bit lists the warning signs that mum is about to lose it, and one is a line every Polish kid knows: «Kto tu to położył?» (“Who put this here?!”). It’s the dangerous, rhetorical question, asked about something left where it shouldn’t be.

The verb is położyć (“to put, lay down”), and the trap is that no answer is safe (“Natychmiast zabrać!”, “Take it away now!”). For learners it’s a tidy window into Polish word order and the universal theatre of an exhausted parent. The only correct response: tidy up, fast.
