What's the difference between sosi, pa sosi and mayabang?

[Zeus]

Puros pa sosi sa Starbucks e Ano ang pag ka iba ng pa sosyal sa mayabang? pa sosyal usually applied to ladies di ba?Man pa sosi pwede rin ba? Mayabang for men and women pwede e Sosyal is natural socialite na...tama ba?

[jasprit]

Ewan na hihilo ako sa tanong mo eh Medyo tinamaan ako dun sa starbuks ah hehehe. Pag mayabang ang tao indi ksi madali malaman un malay mo ganun lng talaga sya dba??? Mahirap mag husga ng taong di mo kilala. Dont judge a book by it's cover. Pero kg friend mo sya halata naman kng nag yayabang or pa sosi sya... un lng masasabi ko

[technophobic]

Agree with jasprit don't judge a book by its cover. Sossy people are just people prefer expensive quality products. Where as pa sossy just prefer the expensive products just for the image, and mayabang are those who like to boast about what he have.

add on. ang mayabang. male o female. tao na ang taas ng tingin sa sarili (sometimes daw to compensate for a feeling of inferiority) at medyo mababa ang tingin sa iba. Ang mayabang siya lang ang magaling at di makatanggap ng ideas na contrary sa sinasabi niya. sila ang medyo close minded at expert sa mga sinasabi nila. kailangan palaging pinupuri sila kaya sila mismo nag pupuri sa sarili nila.

ang maganda ay pag may dalawang mayabang sa isang mesa na nagtatalo. pure entertainment.

oh and ang mayabang akala niya (o convinces self) na friend niya lahat at nakakatawa siya. mahilig din siya mag name drop ng mga kakilala niya in high places to try to belittle you. But the amusing thing is sometimes these so-called "friends" may not consider the mayabang person a real friend. ganun talaga ang buhay diba?

ang mayabang minsan di gusto ng iba kasi mahirap makasama. kahit ang sosi di naman outcast. ang pa sosi comedy relief lang.

pero sa tatlo ang mga ordinary na tao nakatingin at deep down inside the ordinary folk await their fall. and when they do tawa lang ang madla.

[technophobic]

actually ordinary people await the fall of mayabang and mganagpapasosy. Sossy people are just ordinary people with expensive taste, I'm sure some of you are, the reason you just don't know it because you are not flaunting it. Iba talaga ang nagpapasossy and mayabang, sila yung annoying.

[technophobic]

It seems like we have our own way of defining sossy. But we all agree on one thing. We hate people na nagpapasossy and mayabang )

the key is to look at the pa sosi and mayabang as entertainment. in fact the mayabang and pa sosi are easy to play with. kasi their own achilles heel is themselves.

think of it as reality tv. and you get to play big brother. kasi they win if na annoy ka.

My definitions from what I learned here so far......

Owning expensive products doesn't necessarily make one "sosy". Some people just have more means than others. To me, "sosy" combines expensive tastes with an attitude of lording it over others. The attitude has to be there. There's nothing wrong with having expensive stuff if you have the means to afford them.

"Pa sosy" Duh...... I think it's people of lesser means attempting to live the life of the above even if it'll put them in a pinch. That's all I can think of for that term since I don't really pay attention to anyone except myself.

Mayabang..... well. Where to begin. This one may depend on one's perceptions. If one's sensitive about his/her social image, then he/she is more prone to think of others who are better off as "mayabang", especially in the Philippines. I imagine the mere showing of wealth by one person can be regarded as "mayabang" by another person who has lesser means. Here, it's more of a direct "in-your-face" attitude. Kinda more like, "Yeah, they call me Horse. That's why I have a different girlfriend for every day of the week". THAT's what I would call mayabang. Anything less doesn't even bother me enough to take notice of.

Nasa socio economic level yan.

There's old rich/super rich, new rich, upper middle class, lower middle class, not-so-poor poor, really-poor poor.

the old rich/super rich have been rich for a long time. 3 or 4 generations rich. mejo low profile mga old rich. Sosy is as normal as breathing. it's not even a conscious effort. In short, they dont even have to try. Ganyan na talaga sila e.

the new rich is flashier than the old rich. may konting conscious effort sosy nila. Pero may K.

the upper middle parang new rich. mejo blurry line dito coz on the outside, they look almost the same. Difference is in the financing of the image.

lower middle class and not-so-poor poor--- eto na--- dito madami pa-sosyal. they try to imitate the upper middle class or even the rich. Halatang halata trying hard sila. As in IN-UR-FACE sosy ako! hehehe



before anyone reacts violently, i want to state that everyone has the right to move up in life. Kanya kanyang paraan lang yan. Yun nga lang there are people who have a funny way of trying to move up.

that's a good definition...

though for me... bahala sila sa buhay nila...

[alwayz_yummy]

just like sa lancer-cedia, may eL na evo-look, at evo na glxi-look....

di ko maexplain, basta ang mayabang puros hangin lang, ang pa-sosi, halos hangin lang, ang sosy, wala halos hangin, at ang rich, old rich talagang low-profiles, dami dyan, pansinin nyo lang sa bangko kung sinu talaga ang rich...

[jasprit]

Tama si Jasprit, hirap humusga kung di mo kilala

Which reminds me, may ibang old rich na tuwang tuwa pag nakakabili sila ng murang bagay sa tiangge at talagang ikinukuwento pa sa iba, samantalang meron din simpleng empleyadong di naman kataasan ang sahod pero laging bukang bibig branded at mamahaling gamit.

Yan rin ang na papansin ko e

It's coz the old rich dont have to prove anything to anyone. Everyone knows they are loaded. Actually that's want they want to avoid. They actually like people to think la sila pera.

On the other hand, the pa-sosy wants exactly the opposite. They want people to think they are rich. And they really go out of their way to try to prove it to people around them.

[Chip]

i agree with uls to a certain extent

marami din kasing dating old rich na feeling rich pa rin kahit hinde na hehe
kaya dati dba sa negros may saying "ang pera, pina-pala, pini-piko" but then may addendum na yan ngayon "pero ang utang, binu-bulldozer at bina-backhoe" hehe
at marami din tayong nakikitang mga new rich na low profile lang, na napakasimple lang.

so i guess when it comes down to it, it all depends on the person and how they were brought up.

re mayabang, e bahala sila sa buhay nila hehe may mga tao kasi na assertive lang and malakas ang dating kaya people take him for mayabang. at meron talagang mahangin at universally mayabang hehe

pa-sosi = social climber
