"All you can eat" sets a limit. Telling you that you can only eat this certain amount. Then it's gone. No more. "Eat all you can" challenges you to break that limit. Eat beyond what you normally eat, and there'll still be leftovers.

Lowbat can also be used in the context of a person feeling tired (like being compared to a phone who's running low on battery) and doesn't have the energy to do things anymore like when your friends invite you to a party on a Friday night after work... "I'm sorry, lowbat na ko eh..."

"Green-minded" comes from the literal English translation of Spanish "chiste verde", which means exactly the same thing as its modern Philippine English counterpart: "green joke".

@AngryKittens

14 күн бұрын

A lot of the Philippine English vocabulary is the result of the switch from Spanish to English in school and government, with Spanish influencing the creation of new English words and phrases like "green joke"/"green-minded". Another example is "rotunda", for "roundabout" (instead of "round building"), which is derived from Spanish "rotonda". Or the more famous one I have discussed before "salvage" (from Spanish "salvaje" - "savage"). The opposite also happened, with English influencing Philippine Spanish. Like how we say "motorsiklo" ("motorciclo"), from English "motorcycle", instead of actual Spanish "motociclo" or "motocicleta" (without the R). Another is "kolehiyo" ("colegio") which means "college" (i.e. tertiary education/university), like in English, instead of its actual Spanish meaning: "school" (any school, but usually meaning "high school").

Thank you for this. I was wracking my brain at 4:15am trying to find the etymology of "Green-Minded". I wish we still had foreign/Spanish language/s in the curriculum. Or maybe that was just where I went to school...decades ago. Is "Dogshow" a Tagalog thing? I'm Ilonggo so I didn't get that...

@@MariaIsabel_Fufuria It's recent slang. Coined by Sassa Gurl. I don't really consider it Philippine English. More like a direct loanword. It's only used in code-switching (e.g. "na-dogshpw", "pandodogshow"), never really in fully English sentences. in other English dialects, the phrase "What a dogshow!" already exists. With the meaning of something chaotic, messy, or unexpected. I've heard it used in the Philippines too before the current slang.

I don't remember hearing that back then. Speaking of Spanish being part of the curriculum,I disagree. Filipinos are already forced to learn 2 languages(Tagalog & English) in school if they're not from the Capital or Tagalog region. English will easily help someone with any job prospects abroad. Also helps them get into BPO companies. You face stiff competition for Spanish in Latin America. I really don't see the point unless you're planning to move to Spain or work as a nurse in California.

Dog show is to not take something (usually a task) seriously and make a joke of it. Like if you’re joining a quiz bee and you give unserious answers for humor.

This. Or if you’re doing a dance performance, and you’re not doing the correct choreography, and just dance random and unserious moves. Dogshow. 5:51

Context for those curious: Dogshow: What do you do when at a dog show. Either you bring a dog on a leash to show off, or make it do tricks to make people laugh. Now replace "dog on a leash" with "embarrasing photos or video clips of someone" For a while: The most common place this is used is when Person 1's currently talking with Person 2(to face or over phone) and Person 3 tries to call their attention. It basically means they'll be with you in a moment/"while". Green-minded: This stems from Spanish "Verde = green", where "verde" can be a more polite way of saying "risque" "lewd" or anything over PG13. KKK: Shortened to just "Katipunan" for the org or "Katipuneros" for the members, they are basically the FIlipino equivalent of "the Founding Fathers" in PH history. Extra: Who had control over PH? Non-Asian forces/"Conquerors" only, in order: > Spain using Mexico as proxy > Britain for 2 years > Back to Spain via Mexico > Spain directly this time coz Mexico dipped > US > Japan for 4 years > Back to US > Independence

Thanks for the clarification I kinda thought the green-minded was a reference to the statement "the grass is always greener on the other side" and so a person looking for green was looking for greener pastures or sexual chances that's why they are considered dirty-minded as sexual chances or anything related to that was what was always on their mind.

i have always believed (and still believe) that dogshow means to degrade the quality of a prestigious event/reputable person/serious topic by introducing silly/ridiculous twists that make it similar to a circus show. For example, the former president “dogshowing” PH politics by comparing his penis size to someone from the opposition and using it as an insult, or a national pageant contestant “dogshowing” the pageant by adding some cheap antics to spice up his/her performance on stage. In these cases, the people become “dogs” that are judged for the amusement they bring to a serious event.

The Filipinos are both influenced by Spanish and English, the reason might be the confusion between the two languages. Salvage sounds like the word "salvaje", which is actually translated in English as "savage" rather than the other word. Salvage in Spanish is "salvar", which means "to save". In language definitions, these are called false friends.

"Salvage" is the English pronunciation of the Spanish term "salvaje" which means "cruel." "Sinalbahe" in Tagalog/Filipino means "one who was tortured or was savage to." Thus a tortured murder victim that was dumped somewhere remote was "salvaged."

Worked in the Philippine call center industry. One of the things we were taught was the difference between "for a while" in the US vs. in the PH. We would not want a US customer worrying to be put on hold "for a while" or for the resolution to be "in a while." Lol. We were taught how US customers are busy sometimes working more than one job and oftentimes only get the chance to call us in-between breaks so it's important that there be a one-call resolution as much as possible, that we make them feel that we value their time.

I think it's because internationally, they associate the term for bad things. Just to make people be aware that KKK for us means a lot for us and thus not meant what they initially think it is. That is important for other people to know if they want to interact with Filipinos especially as a tourist here.

KKK was a secret society that fights Spain and American occupation. Whereas HUKBALAHAP was an organisation that fought against Japan's occupation.

Lmao, "Hi, eat-all-you-can" 🤣

Someone explained to me that we say "for a while" because its the closest in English to "saglit lang"

The two girls are correct for dog show. It usually when someone is not serious on his/her tasks. For example, I joined a singing contest but I didnot put an effort and I’m not serious with it. I can say na I just dogshow my performance in that contest.

They were overthinking so bad on "low bat" 😭😂

Dog show is closer to what sophie said. It's basically clowning around on what's supposed to be a normal or serious situation. I don't know where that meme definition came from.

We like using shortcuts and wit alot ig.

I looked up the definition of the word "awhile" on Google, and it means "for a moment." Similar phrases include "for a while," "for a little while," and "for a bit." In Filipino, "awhile" can be translated as "saglit" or "sandali." Personally, when someone says "it would take a while," I understand it to mean it would take a long time. However, "for a while" has always meant "for a moment" to me, indicating that it wouldn't take much time.

The memes that get inserted keep getting me dead 😭😭

We can define KKK as a Christian terrorist organisation (in the spanish perspective) that killed a lot of white people (spanish)

While “eat-all-you-can” as a Filipino English term for “all-you-can-eat” (presumably reflective of the primarily VOS/VSO sentence structure in Filipino, even though SVO is sometimes used) was a good Philippine English vocabulary, I think the slang term _buffet_ would have been better. While _buffet_ typically implies self-service restaurants (where you either pay a fixed price or pay based on the ala carte price of the items selected), in the Philippines, buffet is often used to mean “all-you-can-eat”, even if the patrons do not pick up food themselves from a buffet line and order through a server.

I moved from Calif. to Cebu in 2010. Things I've heard, "osapana"= "Chew it up" means you don't want to do something suggested. "Clarix"="cool, right on, I like that". In America I would call small change (coins) "Chicken feed" but found out that to Cebuanos in school "Chicken feed" is a test that was really easy to pass.

Dogshow is basically you egging a person on because something they are doing is really funny, or you continue to mess with a person for the fun of it, so a phrase usually goes like : "Dino-dogshow niyo nanaman ako!" In translation : "You guys are messing with me again!"

Korean-American here. I used to live in the Philippines for like 8 years and it was so funny seeing all these people go in and out on all these phrases. Especially the Katipunan and green-minded (which I thought was a universal thing ngl) phrases.

Tagalog is a VSO (verb-subject-object) language, thus the verb "eat" comes first in "Eat all you can." English is an SVO (subject-verb-object) language, thus "all you" (subject) comes first before "can eat" (the verb).

El you really made me laugh so hard.

And that's why in the call center, they always tell the agents not to say "for a while" even if they actually meant it's just for seconds, coz the customers will think they actually meant it's gonna take a while.
