These are some words that we used to hear from our older relatives. I still hear them but not so often. Sometimes, I uttered some of them myself…. familiar with the words but not necessarily their true meanings. Most of the time, these words tickle my imagination… what might be their true meaning and origins. I made this compilation… to remind me of these familiar words! I also requested help from my friends. Thank you to all who have contributed 💕 |
Sipsip
Always getting favors from others; self-conceited
Agbanat ka ng buto
To work hard
Suntok sa buwan
Imposible to accomplish
May asim pa
Someone is still appealing despite their age
Panakip butas
Substitute
Tubig at langis
A pair who doesn't work well
Maluwag ang tornilyo
Mentally imbalance
May toyo sa utak
A person with mental disorder
Hulog ka ng langit
A person who is giving a big help
Dumaan ka sa butas ng karayom
Face impossible odds to accomplish something
Harangan man ng sibat.
You will do something no matter what it takes
Makati ang kamay
To steal something
Isaksak mo sa baga mo
It's all yours, i don't like it
Nagpanting ang tainga
Angry
Sumunod sa agos
Go with the flow
Matalas ang dila
Someone whose words can seriously hurt
Akyat bahay
Thief; Robber
Magdildil ng asin
To live a wretched life
Lumang tugtugin
Something that is no longer new or often heard
Ningas cogon
Not permanent or fades away quickly
