mamsir is also used BY TRAINERS to call ON trainees whose names ARE YET TO BE remembered.  

a more recent version is the expression “mamsirglider” which is a line used by promodizers who sell airplanes.

5. nyes

nyes is a combination of the words no and yes. people USE THIS WHEN THEIR ANSWER IS IN BETWEEN NO AND YES, like WHEN THEY ARE UNSURE OF SOMETHING.

trainer: is everything clear?
trainees: nyes!

4. whatabout

IN GENERAL, WHATABOUT IT IS A HUMOROUS SLASH MILDY VIOLENT REACTION TO things trainees do. TRAINERS HAVE THEIR OWN VERSIONS OF SAYING “WHATABOUT”.

IT THEN EVOLVED INTO “WHATABOUT YOU” AND “WHATABOUT IT”.

3. carry 

carry means okay, alright, sure, or yes. it’s an expression we borrowed from the fabulous gay community.

normally, when trainers check for understanding with the word“carry”, trainees respond with “carry” as well. however, this evolved into the infamous carry – bongga duo, wherein the response to carry became bongga.

2. nanette 

nanette refers to a person who makes things up. this term came from the name of the well-known filipina actor-comedian, Nanette inventor. the connection can be found in the last name, “inventor”, which has the word “invent”.

nanette is now being used as a verb, as in “he nanetted the answer”.

1. coffee

this is of course the English translation of the Tagalog word, “kape”, which originated from the expression “magkape ka para kabahan ka”. because of the English only policy in gcmA, we were forced to say “coffee” instead of “kape”.

“coffee” is A TRAINER’S REACTION TO A trainee's unforgivable ERROR. IT IS A HUMOROUS WAY OF REACTING TO A BIG BOOBOO.

this word can also be used as a verb, as in the sentence, “I will coffee you”. trainers say this to threaten their trainees in a joking manner. “coffee” eventually evolved into “coffin” and “I will coffin you”.

a lesser known version is the coffin-casket tandem.
