…but with the help of friends, I’ve started to compiled all the weird and cool words I’ve heard people say in my month there– and being a lifelong pottymouth, I’ve also included all of the vile words I could come up with as well.
IF YOU DO NOT APPRECIATE DIRTY WORDS DO NOT READ THIS ENTRY.

In no particular order:

Tara– slang for “Let’s go”
Jeprox– this is slang for government project housing, or as said in the Black Community, “The PJs.” This word takes the PJ slang and reverses the letters and creates a word from that. I’ve found that Filipinos love the pun, and that wordplay is rampant– Tagalog is a very flexible language like English, but it has the extra advantage that English can also be used at will, in a mashup of the languages known as Taglish.
Putang ina mo– simply put, motherfucker– spanish derivative
Chupa- blowjob– more spanish, eh?
baduy- used a lot by friends, it refers to a cheesiness found in 70’s era things– disco cheese, if you will.
jolog– same cheese, different era– this one being like 90’s cheese, think of the husky voice that stupid singer from the band Creed has and you get an idea of the essence of jolog.
pogi rock– sucky pretty-boy rock bands that have taken over Filipino popular music. Definitely derrogatory term.
supot– being uncircumsized– to say someone is supot is offensive unless you are friends, then it kind of means you think they are a scrub
TNT or Tago ny Tago– literally it means “hide and hide,” it is a phrase for Filipinos living and working abroad illegally, specifically in the United States.
Malupit- slang for really good, in a way that the object of praise shows a command of something.
Astig- very good, it appeals to my sensibilities
Brocha- going down on a woman– also means a used up paint brush!
Brotsa- same as above
bilat- vagina
kupal- the notorious counterpart to smegma, or dickcheese.
tinggil- clitoris, pronounced “tingle” (!)
tuli- circumcized
madumi– means dirty in a sexual way
nangamatis– literally means “swollen tomatoes,” the counterpart to blue balls.
