Have you ever heard someone say something like this? If you’re a guy – and from WV, and I mean a permanent (as of now) resident of the place – you definitely have. Guys say this as some sort of Ilonggo slang (or Filipino slang, I don’t exactly know which); one thing’s for sure, the expression’s oh-so-popular here in Iloilo.
Part has long been a conversational mainstay, rooting from the Tagalog pare, but ohp… it’s a weird word. Really weird word as i noticed these days. Guys say it all the time nowadays
The catch is: Do you/we actually know how this word came about? I’m referring to ohp here. Do you? Huh? Huh? Huh?
I guess not. I’m also guessing you didn’t have to guess that you don’t. Well then, here’s my theory.
Sigarilyo (that damn burning stick) is yosi. That came from SI-garil-YO, which was made into SI-YO, which further became YOSI. From-the-province is promdi. That’s FROM-THE-province, which mutated into PROM-DI province, which ended up as PROMDI. Sitak is a utility car. Don't you know that? It's actually a Cab. A word in reverse form of Taxi.
So, OHP came from PHO, which actually comes from PO. That’s right, the Tagalog word for respectation.
To make the long story short, Po was mutated by commie homo-lovin’ sons of guns (go Sean Penn!) into FO or PHO, which guys unknowingly changed to OHP.
My conclusion:
OHP is actually SOoooooooO GAY!!!!!hahaha
So guys , still saying OHP there? Well then…
“Hi fo, mga mare!” hahaha...
till my next blog..
