"Polish Prime?" is not insulting.

The term "polish prime" would insult, if this term describes a silly or week way to play. But it is a bold technique, to repair the timing of a bad timed back game. It refers perhaps on the game "narde" which is a russian game and popular in eastern europe. A major difference between Narde and other forms of backgammon is that there is no hitting in this game. One checker by itself controls a point, and an opposing checker may not land or touch down there. So even blots can form a prime. By the way, isn't "Kamikaze play" insulting the japanese people? And should we say better "seppuku play"?
