⌛ For a While

Your butt is eating your pants, (stuck in the crack).
Laundry the clothes.
She for he and he for she.

 

"Taglish"? ah, yeah !Tagalog people always speak that way. hahahaha!!! and when Visayan people pronounce the word "Uncle" and Tricycle" in a correct pronunciation they laugh and do correction with a different intonation, I could not even find it on the dictionary the way they pronounce it and they say ...that's the correct pronunciation...LOL!

 

Apparently Taglish is one official languages of The Philippines. The BPI ATM machines all give "Taglish" as an option for language.

Taglish Pronunciations:

Tricycle - Try Si KILL
Uncle - Un KILL

 

It is also known as Phinglish in some areas.

 

"Your butt is eating your pants, (stuck in the crack)":D
BW, haven't heard than one but I give it my vote as the most original local phrase, to be sure. I can feel that one. lol

 

I have also noticed a lot of times that I can buy one item much easier than I can buy two or more.
For example, I go to a Sari-Sari and ask for three packs of cigarettes.
The clerk will normally bring out only one and ask "How many".
It can be maddening and very funny at the same time.
Try asking for three ice creams at your local Mickey D's and watch the show as they will usually bring the ice cream out one serving at a time, asking how many each time until they finally have served all three of them.
It's not actually a local Phinglish term, but some kind of ritual they feel is necessary I suppose and I do find it interesting.

 

I must admit in 9 years living and traveling the PI in never heard the term "Phinglish" sounds to me a bit like a very own word-creation....

anyway, my Sari Sari around the corner just gave me the price for a rim of cigarettes, so I said ok, I 'll get one, of course they were out of stock... well at least they already have a price for it ...

 

I don't know, but that is what it is called in this area, Phinglish, a combination of Filipino and English.
Sort of like Taglish (without the Tagalog)
and I'm sure you've heard that term before.

 

well, Taglish is pretty normal, while phinglish is used for a persian/english combination. didn't know people speak that in cebu... one never stops learning
