Random Gripes you Wish to Express...

[dr. d]

converting a noun into a verb... genericking a brand name.. filipinizing a foreign word.. generally, bastardizing a word..
we filipinos are expert.
pridyider had a headstart.. frigidaire.
"i-simonays natin ang car nyo po." simonize brand car shine paste. in those days, simonize wasn't as easy to use as today's turtlewax. lumalaban ang car biton. ayaw magpa-tanggal! you will grow mr big muscles. so, to "simonize" a car back then was not for the weak of heart (err.. muscle).
"i have a secret... hulaan mo." "sirit!" (share it!)
"sabado bukas. asan ba yung jobos..?" (joe boss. a dye, popularized as a blackener of scuffed shoes when ROTC was in vogue)
in negros, patis gets you toyo. say rufina if you want patis.
ang my uncle, may he rest in peace, kept saying "bolswagen".

OT. i'm not griping. i'm enjoying it.
