Pinoy IDIOM

I received STARSTUDIO magazine for FREE each month and I found this one thought of sharing with you all.

Halik ni Hudas
Literal meaning : Judas' kiss
Actual meaning : A supposed kind gesture that is really a kiss of betrayal.
Example of usage : E, ano ngayon kung niyakap ka kanina sa party? Halik Hudas lang iyon. (So, what if he embraced you at the party? That's just a parting shot to let you know he will betray you.)

Makati ang dila
Literal meaning : Itchy tongue
Actual meaning : A person who could not stop himself of herself from spreading gossips or rumors.
Example of usage : Huwag kang magtitiwala ng mga sikreto mo kay Luz. Makati ang dila niyan.
(Don't trust Luz with your secrets. She's a gossip monger.)


Konsuelo de bobo
Literal meaning : A fool's consolation.
Actual meaning: A give-away or a bone tossed as consolation prize but one that really has no value.
Example of usage : Na-fire si Johnny sa trabaho. Ang konsuelo de bobo lang niya doon, binigran siya ng certificate of recognition sa tagal niya sa kompanya. Pero walang separation pay.
(Johnny was laid off from work. The certificate of recognition he got for his long years of service in the company was his consolation prize. Still, he got no separation pay.)

Halang ang bituka
Literal meaning : Twisted intestines
Actual meaning : An evil person or someone who is up to no good. He's got a very Dask Side.
Example of usage : Huwag mong gagawing kaaway si Mr. Reyes. Halang ang bituka niyan. Pwede ka niyang saktan.
(Don't make an enemy of Mr. Reyes. He's got a very dark side. He can hurt you.)



Sa Friday bday na ni Julie, times just flew by. We're not going to have a party for her this time because she don't want to. All she want invite couple of her closes friends go see a movie and shopping. Meron na siyang plano she wants me to drop her off to the mall with her friends and she'll call me whenever they're ready to go home. Natawa lang ako sa kanya at tina-asan ng kilay hahaha. Yeah right like I will let her roaming around inside the mall with couple of friends. Galit siya pero walang magawa. Hindi natin alam ang mga tao dyan diba?

Happy Wednesday everyone. God bless!
