peer agreement (net): +1drywall Explanation: Strange spelling. It's actually "Rigips" (from gypsum), and it is the street name for "drywall." Knowing Polish, it may well be or have been a brand name (such as "Electrolux" = "vaccuum cleaner"). The proper term for "drywall" in Polish is "plyta gipsowo-kartonowa." Hope that helps!
