Pinoy Sniglets
If you’re old enough to remember sniglets, then this one is for you. Not to be confused with swardspeak which is a whole different class on its own.
This post from Expectorants got me thinking (hard thing to do for me…think, that is). There should be more words in the Filipino language. Evolution is the only way it would gain acceptance. If you don’t use it, it becomes a dead language. So, in the interest of enriching the Filipino language here are some new words I’d like to see included in daily use.
Some Pinoy Words That Don’t Exist But Should
1. iritabloid
Hirit ng mga artista kapag naiinis sa kapwa artista o kapag may ‘isyu’ tungkol sa kanila. Lagi naman nawawala o nakakalimutan pagkatapos ng isang linggo.
2. hiwalayoyo
Para sa mga couples na laging naghihiwalay at nagbabalikan.
3. pogilitics
Mga stunts ng mga politico na obvious naman papogi lang.
4. delusyonaryo
Isang tao na nagpapanggap na rebulosyonaryo.
Tulad ng isang tao dyan. Hero’s welcome daw. Baka si Hero Bautista lang sumalubong sa kanya. Comeback daw ‘o. By the way, pare - Happy Anniversary sa’yo.
5. katatonia
Sleep induced from watching TV shows from Kapuso and Kapamilya.
6. seikosomatic
Unang stage ng grieving para sa lumalalang Philippine commercial cinema. Ito ay ang ‘denial’ stage, eg ‘if it’s from Seiko, it must be good = if it’s a Philippine made movie, you must support it regardless how crappy it is.’ Obvious naman na mali.
7. pasan-load
Isang tao na laging hinihingan ng load sa cellphone.
8. textmas
Mga pagkakataon na kung saan sabay-sabay dumadating ang mga text na ipit sa server o di kaya hindi dumating dahil wala kang signal.
9. emailahokan
Isang tao na mahilig mag-forward ng mga email na natanggap mo nuong isang buwan pa.
10. jologger
JoL0g N@ bLoGgeR. (via Renaissance Girl)

Hehehehe! I enjoyed that post very much. I think we should add those sniglets to the dictionary. It will help us to be able to accurately express what we mean.
