“BAON†OR “BAWONâ€. Just for fun, a freshman high school teacher asked her students to write down in two or three words how they spend their baon or bawon. “The result was real fun,†said the teacher. “Nagtabla-tabla ang tubag nga snacks ug load.†Of course, you know what they meant by load, unless you don't have a cellular phone.
MALNOURISHED? The teacher said somewhat in jest: “Hibawo na ko nganong moingon sila nga daghan sa atong mga tinun-an malnourished...di ba ma-malnourished nga imbes ipalit snacks ang bawon, ipalit man og load.â€
