Filipino Words Every Filipino Must Know

     This circulated on email at my workplace more that 5 years ago and found it saved on my old hard drive which I was trying to clean up earlier today.  Although a bit old, I think most of you -- especially those who can speak and understand the Filipino language quite well -- shall find this educational as well as entertaining.


     Most Filipinos are bilingual (even trilingual) and speaks fluently the two official languages of the Philippine which are Filipino and English.  But even if Filipino comes as the first language, there's a big probability that most Filipinos have not yet fully discovered the intricacies and semantics of this beautiful language which is a combination of many different tongues.

     And so, just in case you guys need further education in the Filipino language, here are some words that I think you must compel yourself to learn:

  1. BAKTOL - Ang ikatlong lebel ng mabahong amoy sa kili-kili.  Ang baktol ay kapareho ng amoy ng nabubulok na bayabas.  Ito'y dumidikit sa damit, at humahalo sa pawis.  Madalas na naaamoy tuwing registration, sa elevator o FX.

  2. KUKURIKAPU - libag sa ilalim ng boobs.  Madalas na namumuo dahil sa labis na baby powder na inilalagay sa katawan.  Maaari ding mamuo kung hindi talaga naliligo o naghihilod ang isang babae.  Ang KUKURIKAPU ay mas madalas mamuo sa mga babaeng malalaki ang joga.

  3. MULMUL - buhok sa gitna ng isang nunal. Mahirap ipaliwanag kung bakit nagkakaroon ng MULMUL ang isang nunal, subalit hindi talaga ito naaalis kahit na bunutin pa ito -- maliban na lamang kung ipapa-laser ito.

  4. BURNIK - taeng sumabit sa buhok sa pwet.  Madalas nararanasan ng mga taong nagti-tissue lamang pagkatapos tumae.  Ang BURNIK ay mahirap alisin, lalo na kapag natuyo na ito.  Ipinapayo sa mga may BURNIK na maligo na lamang upang ito'y maalis.

  5. ALPOMBRA - kasuotan sa paa na kadalasang makikitang suot ng mga tindero ng yosi sa Quiapo.  Ito'y may makipot na suotan ng paa, at manipis na swelas.  Mistulang sandalyas ito ng babae pero kadalasang suot ng mga lalaki. available in blue, red, green, etc.

  7. BAKOKANG - higanteng peklat. Ito'y madalas na dulot ng mga sugat na malaki na hindi ginamitan ng sebo de macho habang natutuyo.  Imbes na normal na balat ang nakatakip sa bakokang, ito'y mayroong makintab na takip.

  8. AGIHAP - libag na dumikit sa panty o brief.  Nabubuo ang AGIHAP kung ang panty o brief ay suot-suot na nang hindi bumababa sa tatlong araw.

  9. DUKIT - ito ang amoy na nakukuha kung isinabit mo ang daliri mo sa iyong puwit o sa puwit ng iba.

  10. SPONGKLONG - ito'y isang bagong wikaan nangangahulugan isang estupidong tao.

  11. LAPONGGA - ito'y kahintulad sa laplapan o kaya sa lamasan.

  12. WENEKLEK - ito ang buhok sa utong nakadalasang nakikita sa mga tambay sa kanto na laging nakahubad. Meron din ang babae nito.

  13. BAKTUNG - pinaikling salita ng BAKAT-UTONG.

  14. BAKTI - pinaikling salita ng bakat panty.

  15. ASOGUE - buhok sa kilikili.

  16. BARNAKOL - maitim na libag sa batok na naipon sa matagal na panahon.

  17. BULTOKACHI - tubig na tumatalsik sa pwet kapag nalalaglag ang isang malaking ebak.

  18. BUTUYTUY - etits ng bata.

  19. JABARR - pawis ng katawan.

  20. KALAMANTUTAY - mabahong pangalan.

  21. McARTHUR - taeng bumabalik after mong i-flush.
