What are some common Filipino expressions you say?

My mom will say something that sounds like "AY BU-TEE-KEY ANG LAG-LAG"

whenever she spills or drops something. i asked her what it meant and she said something like "i drop the lizard" embarassedlaugh.gif then i ask her why she would say that, but i forgot what she told me..... icon_confused.gif

Horitaka
is it only me and you in this forum!? icon_confused.gif

you would say anak ng tokwa when something like you burn your hand or make a mess in the kitchen. i donno, that's what I used to hear my mom say all the time. I never used the phraze. She used to always say anak ng keke, which means son of pussy embarassedlaugh.gif I guess you could insert any wierd word after anak ng and people would know what you mean :genius:

it's funny how some filipino ladies/girls say ay pu.e ng ina mo, i laughed so hard when the ministers wife said it by accident. hehe. i guess they don't mean it but it just come out even in most tighest situations.

flipcombatmedic
