Jologs

AmF...

"This word is used when a person gets loud and rude."

some history

The word "AMP/AMF" was first used in the Philippines by the time Ragnarok Online is on it's boom. It is a shortened version of the Filipino phrase "ang puta!/amfuta!" which means "the bitch!" used by Filipinos to express anger and dissapointed on a situation or in some cases just to add intensity to a statement. It is also used the same way "damn!", "shit!" words are used by the Americans.


Since, "ang puta!" or "putang ina" are considered bad words or a swear phrase in the Filipino culture
swear words: used putang ina mo! (your mother is a bitch)

it is filtered in the game Ragnarok (pRO) to prevent swearing/insulting other players.
And the "amp" word was born as a workaround to express the phrase without being filtered by Ragnarok Online.
