Street Words 2

Jologs

1. Derived from the combined words daing (salted fish), tuyo (a type of dried fish) and itlog (egg). Dyolog then became Jolog, a term for someone who is tacky, but implied in a more negative tone and often referred to people who belong to the lower class of society.

2. "Baduy", "skwating", tacky, teeny-bopper wannabe

3. Someone from the lower class of society who tries to be cool but ends up a failure and in turn becomes a "jolog"

4. Anything or anyone associated with things that are "pang-masa" (for the masses)

Examples:

-Those people at SM are so jologs! They're probably from the squatter's area.
-Yuck! What is she wearing? Those chokers are soooo jologs.
-Omigod! She's like a fan of Jolina? That's so jolog!
-What a trying hard wannabe. Freaking jolog.
-ABS-CBN is soooo jologs. And Judy Anne Santos is just about the queen of jologs. Well... second to Jolina anyway.
