That’s par for the course my dude. Married a Filipina and it’s like sucking on a warhead. So bitter your wanna spit it out and then so sweet you’re desperate for more. True story my wife will regularly call me Idiot when we argue and then turn around and call me Yam. My name is Don. So where does the name Yam come from? You Are Mine. That’s her name for me. That’s how much a Filipina will love you dude. Right down to your fucking name she gives you she’s declaring that you are her true love. But she also won’t hold back calling you retarded if you do something stupid. 😂

"Ko" does mean "mine" or "my" but if your Aunt is from the Kapampangan region, your nickname "Jo" or "Dyo" also means "LOVE." That makes "Joko" mean "My Love."

True story: My mom didn't know my dad's real name when they met. He went by his nickname "Boogie James." They got married within those two weeks they met. When signing the marriage license, she thought aloud "WHO'S FLORO?!!! I THOUGHT HIS NAME WAS JAMES!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Fun facts: My name is Florence and I'm my dad's junior. I have an older brother named James by my mother. She calls my dad "Boog" for short. My father who served the US Navy wasn't home when my brother was born. If he was home he would've named him Floro Jr. My brother said "If you named me Floro, I wouldn't go to school." 😂😂😂😂

Jo Koy is one of the very best comedians the world has to offer. The last several years has been one big hay day for stand-up. Some of the best specials ever . We’re seeing some of the funniest men and women ever to grace the stage in stand-up comedy at this time. Enjoy it, because believe me.. it won’t always be like this.

Well assigning and calling you with a nickname just shows the amount of closeness or how dear the person is to you.

Being a Filipino, having a nickname that's so different and far from your real name is surely special. Like I don't let anyone know my nickname but if you do, it means we're close friends. My family never calls me by my real name always the nickname but if my Mom or Aunt does use my real name, it means I'm in trouble.

I had to explain to my German wife why all my cousins have a name and then something else we call them. When we named our kids the nicknames were a legit part of the discussion. Also, from reading a few of these responses, I now realize the repeated syllable nickname thing is not only my family. Lol.

That is so sweet#!! I call all my Nieces and Nephews "My Baby"!!! 💞💞💞No matter how old they get!😘

that's so sweet ...my heart felt that

When he acts like he's going to cry!! That is so funny!!

My name in birth certificate is Nguyen , and my mom called me Na 😂😂😂

In the Philippines, you get a name, a nickname, and a Filipino nickname that has NOTHING to do with your name. An example: Patricia > Patti > Neneng

Neneng is standard for girls tho. Same with utoy or totoy for boys. There are way more unconventional ones like my aunt's for example. Legal name Jonalette, nickname Duds. Like how??

Neneng i think usually goes for the eldest daughter because an aunt on my mother's side goes by the same nickname. Tl;dr: filipino nickname semantics are weird af

Go Jo koy.. God bless always..you have our full support.

When your nickname hits you decades later 😁🙏💜this

I just realize, since Indonesian and Tagalog have similarities, "ko" in Talagog means "ku" in Indonesian. "Ku" is from the word "Aku" means "My / I". So, if Jo Koy is Indonesian and he also misheard his name, it would be Jo Kuy. In Indonesian slang, "Kuy" can be mean "lets go". So, if his aunty said "Jo-ku, makan" (My Jo, eat), and he heard "Jo, kuy, makan" (Jo, let's go eat), it still makes sense, but his aunty is really posh then.

If I'm not mistaken, Indonesian and Tagalog share the same language family (all the way back Sanskrit I believe) and through time (and Spanish colonization) changed.

@@phoebelyngonzales3899 from what I learn before, Tagalog and Malay shared a common ancestor. Maybe that's why we shared some words across the archipelago.

I was expecting an entirely different punch line when he told that her aunt wasn't calling her Jo Koy. I was already laughing hard because I thought he was going to say she called her "syokoy" as an insult. But it turned into a more wholesome story instead. Edit: here's an excerpt of syokoy in wikipedia: The Siyokoy (Syokoy) are creatures in Philippine mythology which were members of Bantay Tubig (merfolk). They are usually illustrated as green-skinned humanoids with scales, webbed limbs, and fins.

"They name you something and call you something else" Tell me youre a filipino without telling me youre a filipino 🤣 My brothers name was Lyle Andre and we call him Bunsoy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 My bestfriends name is Michelle Grace but she was called Honey 🤣🤣🤣🤣

hahahaha! JO KO! so sweet!

I'm Filipino and my name is Jophet but they call me Pedro which is my father's nickname, everytime someone calls pedro, me and my father responds..hahaha

Jo was hands down the best show ive seen. Never laughed so hard in my life. Highly recommend seeing him anytime

Even there is humour in getting his name.. Jo Koy is just hillarious.

He's from the heart I love the guy he's not afraid to apologize if he accidentally offends someone

I had a school mate nicknamed Jokoy, his real name is Ralph...

His Aunt said “Jo Ko eat na!” If you say that fast enough it sounds like Ji Koy because of the letter e in eat.

Marvin Agustin loves your jokes #JOKOY love your comedy love your jokes! Just being proud of you cause your a Filipino and ofcourse your good! Godbless your mom for raising you with our culture 💪😘🙏💪❤️

I had a similar thing with my son. A lady asked me why I named my son “Francisco” thinking “oh you named him after San Francisco right?” I told her no he isn’t “Francisco” his name is “Francis Ko”. And when she asked I explained that because my son is half Filipino my wife always adds “Ko” after his name. And when I told her what “Ko” meant and that what I was really calling him was “my Francis” she had the same crying reaction. 😂 I love being part of this culture so much. So much passion and love.

So funny. Herbert is a rad name, too. One of the funniest men ever. Salamat, JoKoy! 🏆🎭🇵🇭🇨🇦

Could have gone Cajun, Hebert is 'A-Bear'. Still throws me off.

I loved this story so much!

This guys so funny! First time watching him ! Love it! 🤣🥰💜👵🏼
