Are you Conyo?

Did you know that this word is not as nice as you think it is? It's a Spanish word pertaining to something I'd rather not say here. But if you are really interested, get on to the internet and google it. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Let's just talk about the meaning of this word in the Filipino context. I use to get called this name because I speak English with a little bit of what they call 'arte', I never get to understand what's so bad about saying the words the way they should be. But never mind that, this not about me. Sometimes 'conyo' means the rich. If you are wearing signature clothes, designer shoes, and fancy accessories, you will be marked as 'conyo' just because you are pretty wealthy. But the best meaning I think of the word in Filipino context is that 'conyo' are those people who speak in English mixed with Tagalog. There is nothing with speaking Taglish, I think it somehow depends on how it is delivered. Many of us are so sensitive with this aspects of person that we have to have something to call it.

Being posh is not a bad thing because to be honest, I'd rather be 'conyo' than be 'jologs.

But the way, I saw this video today posted by a friend of mine in facebook. I just found it really funny.
