I'm just getting it right because I'm still terrified of current slang after my "boo" debacle D:
wanderer
ewwwww boo (lmao)
Mark (CG)
ay, di mo pa ba alam yun? (lmao) It's my favorite horror story
Mark (CG)
I'm a ghost, see? so I greet people with "boo!" instead of "hi!" cuz I'm all cutesy and Casper the friendly ghost, right?
Turns out, not the best greet to a certain girl who thought I was serious with her D:
Mark (CG)
...how the fuck was I supposed to know "Boo" stopped being this: and became "be my one and only"
Mark (CG)
(tears)
kaijerk
"yo mah boo, sup"
Mark (CG)
what if I combine it into "boo bes"?! D:
Mark (CG)
and then... bear with me, remove the space because we're so close and friendly

Mark (CG)
Yeah. Apparently it's a variant of "bae" or something
Mark (CG)
(LOL) well I told the story in an old private plurk to friends. The whole "Christian Girl" stuff
wanderer

Bes is the gay lingo equivalent for bro, usually used interchangeably with gurl/teh.
Mark (CG)
wanderer : it was pretty humdrum, not worth reading in entirety. It was just me moaning about courtship and quitting at the first sign of trouble (LOL)
MoRi 𐂂
Paps, on the other hand, is a softened term for bro/pare/dude, used liberally by straight and gays alike.
wanderer
(LOL)
Mark (CG)
MoRi 𐂂 : Really?
Mark (CG)
I just find it quite funny cuz I've always associated "Bess" with cows.
kaijerk
MoRi 𐂂 : it still feels weird when a straight guy use paps for other straight guy. and i'm not homophobe. i just feel iffy when i hear it
MoRi 𐂂
Yap kahit straight guys naririnig ko na gumagamit ng bes at paps. Time's a-changing haha
MoRi 𐂂
Widely accepted na yung paps especially sa gym buffs
Mark (CG)
Ah, gym buffs...
If you ever feel like testing your gayday, go to a Fitness First (lmao)
Mark (CG)
gaydar*
Mark (CG)
anyway, thanks for the help. I'm just an out-of-touch old man who hasn't kept up with the young kids these days (LOL)
kaijerk
MoRi 𐂂 : yuh sa gym guys. lol this reminds me of one time, may malapit kasing gym sa ministop dito. the guys were wearing those fitted sando, and are wearign boxers haha. galing sila lahat dun sa gym
kaijerk
one guy said to another, "paps pakurot" as in out of the blue
kaijerk

kaijerk
hahahaha
wanderer
^ (rofl) (lmao)
Mark (CG)
What. What. Whaaat.
MoRi 𐂂
Ahaha bromance lang yun. Kaya lang sa sobrang complicated na ng gender norms, di mo na rin masabi who's straight haha
kaijerk
MoRi 𐂂 : di baaaa hahahaha di ko alam kung maccute-tan ako or what. parang what kurot? ako dinpakurot hahahahaha tae
kaijerk
Mark (CG) : paps, pakurot. hahahahaha~ isipin mong machong lalake nagsabi sayo nyan.
Mark (CG)
the homoerotic subtext is real.
I'm gonna need to go read up on some yaoi shit to keep up with trends.
or watch boku no pico again.
Mark (CG)
(LOL) I don't think anyone would say that to me. I'm not one to give a vibe that I'd be game for such horsing around
MoRi 𐂂
^ooohh may mga straight din pala na nagbabasa ng gay-themed manga
Mark (CG)
I read mostly the shoujo-ai stuff :v
lynn
Bes - short term for bestfriend. But some people use it as a sarcasm. Like me, I used the term bes when you posted a picture of snake. Because sometimes bestfriends = ahas.
hannee
Mark (CG)
hannee : THAT'S A DIFFERENT MEANING THAN EVERYONE ELSE'S AND NOW I'M CONFUSED D:
Mark (CG)
lynn : I like you. Using a word and making it a backhanded compliment like that. Very cunning.
Vincent
^i like you daw, lynn . Parang "boo" lang. :-P
Mark (CG)
...Goddamnit.
Vincent
Mark (CG)
I'm straightforward, not that straightforward (LOL)
wanderer
(rofl)
kaijerk
Vincent : paps na daw sila hahaha
Mark (CG)
wag. baka tawagin nya akong "bes" D:
Vincent
sh
I usually call someone 'bes' pag may favor ako hahaha parang endearment na, pero pag wala ako kailangan wala ring bes hahahaha #sorry
Mark (CG)
sh : Why do I have a feeling like half the "bes" usage is that?
wanderer
some put a bit of negative connotation to it, like using it on someone yer gonna be sarcastic to, or teach something to, with the idea na tanga kasi sya, kelangan pa turuan, etc etc
wanderer
but mostly a term of endearment, in a way that makes it sound like you 2 are close and comfy, na pwede mo sya biruin, gaguhin, pakabaitan etc
lynn
Hahahahhahahahha. Besh.
lynn
I was pertaining to this post icymi. (LOL)
MoRi 𐂂
In that context, bes is implied as a treacherous snake. That's the beauty in every word, they have different connotations depending on the situation.
