Filipinism (only in the Phils)

not just words but anything na iba ang meaning pag dating dito, and mga funny anecdotes na dito lang makikita, yun "only in the Phils" eh more on the funny, "positive" sides...ok?

hotdog-we are the only one with red hotdogs.
flashing of headlights-means I'm coming through..
salvage-means summary executed to us. but real meaning "to save"
undergraduate-for us it means "drop out", "out of school" but real meaning is still studying pero hinde pa graduate.

Only in the Philippines can people have a legitimate and intelligible conversation using only one phoneme.

Scene: Elevator lobby. Two guys waiting for the door to open. When the door opens, one sees the operator inside.

Man (to operator): Bababa ba?
Operator: Bababa.
Man (looks to his companion): 'ba, bababa!
Companion (shoving the first guy in): Baba! Baba!

cars are most of the time "priorities" in the roads than civilians (crossing the street). minsan pa nga ang tao pa ang sumesenyas sa kotse na umuna na :rofl:

where it is illegal for tagging or graffiti in other countries, it is the norm in the philippines for politicians to post greetings, endorsements or messages on the streets contributing to distracted driving. also, the whole directory of barangay officials down to the lowest position posted on the streets. the country probably has the most number of billboards, banners and signs per square meter than any other country in the world

Filipinos use their lips to point to something, instead of using their fingers.
