OK, so this was supposed to be about English, right? So forgive me for talking about Polish this time :-)
Cos Polish is a really complicated language full of really long, impossible-to-pronounce words, isn't it?
But then it occurred to me that there's quite a lot of things you can say using nothing but words of TWO LETTERS. How about these:
1) 'Co ty na to?' ('what you say to that?'/'what d'ya reckon?')
2) 'No bo po co?' ('What for?')
3) 'No co ty?' ('What are you on?')
4) To on go ma' ('He's the one who's got it')
5) 'No to pa pa' ('well bye bye then' or 'ta-ta a bit' as we say in Birmingham :-)).
That's all I could come up with off the top of my head, but then my girlfriend, Aga, chipped in with:
'Co ci to da?' ('What's in it for you?')
'No to co?' ('So what then?')
and 'Na co mi to?' or 'Po co mi to?' (What do I want that for?')
Interestingly enough, most of these seem to be QUESTIONS, for some reason. Have you got any you'd like to add?? Can you make a longer sentence with just two-letter words? There's a beer in it for the best one :-)

Ice Skating
In England, people don't change their tyres on their cars in the winter. Here are some people who should. This road is covered in what we call "black ice" - because you can't really see it, which makes it even more dangerous.
