Kapisówka

Kapisówka is a Polish slang term, predominantly used informally, referring to a payment received "under the table" or without proper documentation. It implies a transaction or exchange where taxes and official records are avoided, often to evade legal or financial obligations. The term suggests an arrangement where the payment is not officially declared, typically made in cash. The origin and etymology of the word are obscure, but the "kap" element might allude to "dropping" or "leaking" money covertly. While the term can sometimes be used humorously, it always carries the connotation of illicit or undeclared income.
