Przyznam się, że poprzednio miałem bean, ale w treści odpowiedzi miałem beam i to stało się okazją do dyskusji amerykańskich idiomów.
My bean ain't thinkin' straight.
Andrzej Mierzejewski Aug 29, 2016:
Na pewno "beam", nie "bean".
;-)
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Aug 28, 2016:
Enlightening and translucent, as opposed to one that is "clear as mud."
andrew eng (asker) Aug 28, 2016:
Thanks a lot. Also for your enlightening explanation of the colloquial term.
Best regards.
:-)
BTW. Yes, I know the mentioned Polish terms.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Aug 28, 2016:
I am beaming from ear to ear. Let me fix that faux pas. I am sure that you know that rozdzielczość refers to resolution, kurtyna świetlna to light curtain, pole ochronne to.... and so on.

BTW. Colloquially, in the US, to "get beaned" means to be hit on the head by, for example, the baseball: to be hit on the bean (the head).
andrew eng (asker) Aug 28, 2016:
Should there be "bean" or "beam"? :-)
