WARNING! WARNING! CONTAINS PROFANITIES; THIS POSTING MAY NOT BE FOR EVERYBODY!
(THERE, I'VE SAID IT!)
Risking the wrath of modest Filipino netters (oh, my born again virgin
ears and eyes!) here is the list of dirty and swear words in Filipino which
I had been threatening to post. I have been receiving many requests for
the list to be posted and somehow my mailer got screwed up when I was mailing
the list to those who requested it. The list is probably on the way to
Antarctica right now. So to make my life simpler, here is another version
of the list (although this is not complete by any means), for all the world
to see, risking the ire and umbrage of netters who might not want to read
such foul words ... . By the way, the beginning of this list dates back
to 1975 when my American classmates in veterinary school at the University
of the Philippines asked me to provide them with helpful Filipino (Tagalog)
phrases. I included a few swear words in the list which they asked to be
expanded. I've been keeping that list in my files ever since ...
