Pomiechówek [pɔmjɛˈxuvɛk] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Pomiechówek, within Nowy Dwór County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.[1] It lies on the Wkra river, approximately 6 km (4 mi) north-east of Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki and 34 km (21 mi) north-west of Warsaw. Among the local residents, there is a humorous nickname, “Pośmiechówek,” (The literal translation of “Pośmiechówek” would be “Laughtown” or “Laughville”, combining the Polish root “śmiech” (laughter) with a mock suffix suggesting a place or village (-ówek). ) which originates from the behaviour of the inhabitants.
