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"

then i ask her why she would say that, but i forgot what she told me.....

is it only me and you in this forum!?
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

I guess you could insert any wierd word after anak ng and people would know what you mean :genius:
