New Colloquial Terms (Non-Material Culture)

Who would think that only technology innovates? Languages, particularly the colloquial language of the Filipinos has also changed. New terms were added to the Filipino Colloquial vocabulary. Words such as: “kitakits”, which means see you around and on the controversial side, the gay lingo, for example: “churvaness” and “echos”.

Most of these new colloquial terms can’t be understood by some people. In the Filipino family, when members of the family speak this way, most of the time they can’t understand each other, since some of the words aren’t formally and usually used.
