Tagalog Word of the Day: TAE

TAE

Description:
Tae simply means "shit" or "crap" or "manure" or "feces" or "dung" or "excrement" or "curiously large fly puddings".  Sometimes it is known by such auspicious names like dumi, ebak or eklats.  Unlike Americans, Filipinos do not use it as a derogatory expression or swear word, rather we use the word "shit" itself, not tae - so much for cultural identity, huh? (commonly used as a noun or a verb, and commonly wiped with tissue paper or washed with water in a tabo).

Word Usage:

May mais ang aking tae!
(There is corn in my shit!)

Ayoko nang tumae, puwit ko'y nauumay
Nabibisto sa 'king tae, ang aking kinakain.

(I don't want to shit anymore, coz my fanny's getting numb,
When one glances at my shit, they usually find out what I just ate.)

Kung gusto mong tumae, diyan ka lang sa tabi
Dahon ng bayabas, ang iyong pampunas...

(If you want to take a shit, you shit in the corner
The leaves of the guava, you use as tissue paper...)



(Warning:  Not work-friendly - turn down your speakers a little.  You've been warned!)
