Lost in Translation: Beckimese Lesson 101

Have you tried visiting a salon and got lost in translation when the beckies started conversing in their beckimese language?

Beckies, bekimons – whatever you call the members of the gay community – have that funny, clever ability in coining words to add in their growing dictionary of beckimese terms.

I must confess, I have the tendency na maging becky at times. Hindi ko nga alam kung matatawa ako o mahihiya kasi nakakahawa yata ako ng mga kaopisina at mga kaibigan ko. Imagine my punk rock teammates here in WOWBatangas speaking “aketch” and “chorvaloo”. Ansagwa.

I came across this Badafinition article on spot.ph and thought of well, writing quite a similar post but I’ll have the basic becky terms only.

Tingnan natin kung relate ka sa mga terms na itey:

Akez, aketch – ako
Anda, andalucia – pera
Anez, anik – ano
Balaysung, balur – bahay
Bitter Ocampo – bitter na tao
Betsung – gusto
Borlog – tulog
Chaka, Chuckie Dreyfuss – pangit
Char, charot, charing – expression (walang definite definition)
Chipangga – cheap
Keri – kaya, sige, alright
Echoz, chos – kasinungalingan
Echusera, echusero – sinungaling
Emote – drama
Emotera – nagdradrama
Fez – mukha
Getching, getsina – gets, kuha
Gibsung – ibigay
Hagardo Versoza – haggard
Havey – meron, panalo
Inlababo – in love
Itey – ito
Keber – pakialam
Lafang – kain, lamon
Luz Valdez – talo
Morayta – mura
Mahalia – mahal
Mashundaels, masyonda – matanda
Pagoda tragedy – pagod
Pak – another expression (at times could mean panalo)
Payola – bayad
Shokot – takot (inspired by Zombadings movie)
Shondak – sindak, takot (ang inakala ni Gerlie na gagawin kay Remington, haha)
Waley – wala
Warla – away
Winnie Monsod – winner, panalo
Wit, wiz – hindi

Admit it or not, creative talaga ang mga beckies. And I don’t see anything wrong with speaking beckimese. Of course, dapat lang nasa lugar. Tamang katuwaan lang. 😉

Parang itong eksena nila Divine Lee at ng mga superfriends nyang beckies. Watch this vid.
