• ulong, oolung, oolong, wulung

Borrowed from Mandarin 烏龍 / 乌龙 (wūlóng) / 乌龙 (wūlóng), from 烏 / 乌 / 乌 (wū, “black”) + 龍 / 龙 (lóng) / 龙 (lóng, “dragon”). In the sense 1, the form is a dialectal or humorous pronunciation of the third-person singular masculine past of ulęgać (instead of the standard form ulągł), with a reference to the name of the tea, probably from the 1980s joke Czy znasz bajkę o herbacie? Gdzieś ty się, chamie, ulung! (Do you know a story about tea? Where were you raised, you prick!).^[1]
