The word for toilet in korean is wajangshil. Not sure of the spelling but the pronunciation is that way. Really important to know such things when you're in a foreign land and you don't know the language.

Noypis would also use the term CR to designate toilet which is something many foreigners scratch their heads at trying to figure out what that means. A variation is "Para sa tabi." when riding public transpo.

"Mama, para" is on the list. Trouble with these bluelists is they don't allow you to edit once they're up.

I meant another variation as in para sa tabi.

There should be something on becoming a crime victim here in RP. As in "magkano ang lagay?"

This list reminded me of a "Learn Tagalog" list at the back of a matchbox in "Blue Hawaii" on that infamous street in Manila (ok, ok, it was Ermita -- I was doing a Sociology Research Paper ;-P). One line that stuck out:

I am horny. -- Libog na ako.

"Mama, para"
"Mama, Para! At dito na lang.
Bababa na ako.
Mama, Para! Dito na lang.
Heto na ang bayad, ko!
Para na sabi. Para na sabi.
Para, mama, diyan sa tabi."

Sorry. Just had to sneak in that Ryan Cayabyab Classic.

I know! I should have. I think my cousin, John, kept one. I should ask him if he still has it.
