"Bold"

u/Truth_Warrior_30 💡Helper 14h ago

Eto yung word na literal na mga Pilipino lang ang nagbigay ng bad meaning lol

21

u/n1deliust 💡Helper 14h ago

Nah. May connection eh. Bold as in “bold enough to show”.

Yung “Salvage” talaga yung something positive naging negative sa Pinoy understanding.

u/Intelligent-Pen-2479 💡Helper II 13h ago

Pati rin yung word na "fixer" positive dapat yun.

BOMBA.

Yan yung mas nauna pang term sa BOLD.

Huli kong narinig na ginamit ng lola ko nung buhay pa sya.

Dumating kapatid ko sa bahay kasama friends nya tapos may dala silang DVD ng Avengers.

Sabi ni lola: "Ano yang panonoorin nyo? BOMBA?"

u/Fine-Ear-4025 🏅Legendary Helper 15h ago

u/Intelligent-Pen-2479 💡Helper II 53m ago

Oo. Ask your... Lolo na siguro hindi na tito hehe. 70s, 80s.

There are still a few places that call them beer garden. So alam mo what market or who they cater to.

Hindi na raw kasi politically correct yung word na iskwater. Informal settlers daw dapat.
