So the teacher said, "You 'foot' your right feet in, you 'foot' your right feet out.

USE THE WORD A Filipino guy gets stopped by immigration at the airport. Immigration tells him, "Use the words 'chicken not bread' in a sentence. " The Filipino looks around, puts a bag over a woman's head and yells, "Chee kennot bred! Chee kennot bred!" (accent on "she cannot breathe")

Differences between Mayaman at Mahirap sa Pilipinas PART II "Malandi" ka kung isa kang dukhang alembong; pero kung mayaman kayo, ang tawag sa iyo ay "liberated". Ang mahirap na tumatanda ay "gumugurang"; sa mayamang tumatanda, the description is "he or she graduates gracefully into senior citizenhood". Ang anak ng mayaman ay "slow learner'; ang equivalent na anak ng mahirap ay "bobo" o "gung-gong". Kung mayaman ka at marami kang kumain, you flatter your host who says "masarap kang kumain, and I like you, you do justice to my cooking"; kung ghastly peasant ka eating the same amount in the same house, your host will say to himself or herself na ikaw ay "patay-gutom" o "hampaslupa" masiba"!
