Funny Filipino-English Translations

[Anna and Jeff 3]

These are the words that are so unique and loaded in meaning that they will never find a direct translation in the English language. Forget traditional dictionaries. keep this.

1. Achuchuchu (A-chu-chu-chu): This refers to the pointless insincerities being said during long, involved conversations about nothing at all.

2. Ano (A-noh): The all-around, all-purpose word for everything.

(1) Pronoun in interrogation: Ano? (What)

(2) Noun: Where is your ano? (Where is your father/mother/dead-uncle's-second-cousin)

(3) Verb: Anuhin this. (Paint/kill/maim/castrate this.)

(4) Adjective: This is so ano. (This is so pretty/big/astounding.)

(5) Interjection: Ano! (What the hell!)

(6) Substitute for genitalia: Did you ano your ano?

The use of ano is quite dangerous for the untrained ear, and must be put into the proper setting. "Honey, the ano is too long, we have to cut it," must be accompanied by the proper understanding of the context, as results may be critical to a couple's future.

3. Booba (boo-bah): A female blessed with larger than usual mammary glands, which can be used as weapons of mass destruction.

4. Checheboreche (Che-che-boh-re-che): Same as achuchuchu. It is interesting to ponder on the reason why there are so many words in the Filipino language that beautifully describe meaningless chatter.

5. Epal (Eh-pal): An individual who believes he is God.

6. Gigil (gee-gil): An uncontrollable desire to bite something.

7. Hipon (Hee-pon): Literally "shrimp," whose body is eaten while its head is thrown away, this refers to a female/male whose body is to die for and whose face looks like it belongs to the dead.

8. Kikay (kee-kay): Refers to individuals who carry a brush, hand wash, moisturizer, lip-gloss and various other facial enhancements in a case (aptly called a kikay kit) inside her bag. Recent inspections of various backpacks have led to the conclusion it is not a purely female trait. This breed cannot resist checking themselves out on mirrors, glass windows, bread knives, sidewalk puddles and plastic-covered notebooks.

9. Kaek-ekan (Ka-ek-e-kahn): Same as achuchuchu and chechebureche.

10. Kilig (keel-leg): A rush of excitement due to the actions, presence or even mention of he whom you see as the future father of your children.

11. Laglag-brip (lag-lag-brip): The female counterpart of laglag-panti

12. Laglag-panti (lag-lag-pan-tee): A man so incredibly hot, so heart-stoppingly gorgeous and oozing with masculinity that female underwear (whether worn by males or females) falls to the ground without effort whatsoever.

13. Indyanero (In-jan-neh-ro): An individual who fails to appear at an appointment without prior warning. Not to be confused with individuals who appear according to Filipino time (approximately 10 minutes before the meeting is to end)

14. Japorms (Jah-porms): Describes an individual dressed differently from the usual (typically involves clothes that have been.

Here are some more and I thought they were, ahem funny:

A teacher saw a ballpen lying on the floor. She asked her student, who's this ballpen belong. A student raised his hand and quipped, "I belong!"

After having their dinner, the teacher walked up to the kitchen. A student followed and then the teacher asked her, 'would you open the grips (gripo - faucet)".

My favorite line lol:

A teacher was furious at her students (I guess for making a lot of noise in the class). She then said to them: "I want to see your parents tomorrow, right now!" (Trans: gusto kong makita mga magulang nyo bukas sa ganitong oras!)

here is the continuation. (thanks babe. xoxoTTT)

15. Lagot (Lah-got): A prophesy of evil things to come.

16. Para (Pah-rah): A term that informs the driver of a jeep to stop and pause (usually in the middle of the road) as the individual speaking intends to leave the vehicle. Dangerous for individuals as drivers seem to believe having one foot in the air is all that is necessary for descent.

17. Takusa (Ta-kuh-sa): Derived from takot sa asawa (afraid of wife), this is a term used to describe the silent (very silent) minority of males married to feminine reincarnations of Hitler.

In addition, there is this term, andres (I think is a compounded word for ander da saya - under the skirt) means the same thing as takusa.

18. PAL (which doesn't translate to Philippine airlines) is an abbreviation form of Palamunin (or dependent), a person who is lazy and is being (constantly ?) fed/ helped by another.

19. PMA (not Philippine Military Academy) but 'pahinga muna anak' (rest my son lol). It means that a young one has to discontinue his study.

ahehe.
