    • Instead of using her name, Dipper sometimes refers to Mabel as "sister" (the English word), which doesn't mean anything in Polish.

  • Smile Dip is called "Halunki," which means "magic mushrooms" or "hallucinations" in Polish slang.
  • In the episode "The Inconveniencing," Dipper admits to being 10 years old, rather than 12. The change was deployed due to Polish numbers. In Polish, numbers ended by "naście" (fourteen - czternaście) start from eleven and above. The twins couldn't be twelve (twelve - dwanaście) because they would be "teens" (in Polish - nastolatki) already. In the rest of the episodes, Dipper and Mabel are still twelve.
