Lodi (lo-di) / Idol
If you spell this Filipino slang word in reverse, you would get the word โidol.โ In short, lodi refers to the person you idolise or look up to. This is a popular word with millennials, who tend to make generous use of it in Facebook posts. Whenever someone has passed board examinations, graduated from college, or makes any significant achievement, you would call that person a โlodiโ to congratulate them.
Petmalu (pet-ma-loo) / Interestingly cool
This slang word is famous among Filipino millennials. The word petmalu is a syllabic reversal of the word malupit or malupet, the Tagalog term for cruel. When millennials use the word, the intention is to refer to someone or something that is extremely interesting or cool.
Werpa (wer-pah) / Power
Similar to the two previous slang words mentioned, โwerpaโ is a millennial product of twisting words and establishing them as part of everyday conversation. This relatively new Filipino slang word reads as pawer or power when reversed. Itโs normally used to give support to someone.
