Because most of them are saying salamat po, paki (please) or pasensya na.Originally Posted by gWaPito
I have heard plenty people say pardon me po, sori po, thank you po, but our family and friends are very polite.

Jim...I have been told that I over use the words Salamat and paki.. It has been suggested Im being OTT!!...Oh well....When in Rome..
Sorry Jim I will have to disagree with you on that one. I dont think for one moment they are using there Tagalog versions. Fred's is spot on again. He does live there, after all.
That is not my general experience of the people over there gwap, I have found most checkout girls, restaurant staff and workers in general to be very polite, if I buy from a street vendor I almost always get a salamat po or salamat ho if the person selling is a bit older than me.
Now queueing etiquette is poor and "excuse me" is something I rarely hear over there.
Filipino's I have worked with here in the UK were excruciatingly polite to the point that it was embarrassing sometimes.
Again in my experience if I help someone out over there it is rare that I don't get a kind word in return.
Maybe my experience is atypical but I have spent over 400 days there out of the last 6 years.
F*ck
one of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word F*ck
Out of all the English words that begin with the letter F, F*ck is the only word referred to as The F word.
It's the one magical word that just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love.
F*ck, as most words in the English language, is derived from German.
The word Flicken which means To strike.
In English, F*ck falls into many grammatical categories.
As a transitive verb for instance, John f*cked Shirley, as an intransitive verb, Shirley f*cks.
It's meaning is not always sexual.
It can be used as an adjective such as, John's doing all the f*cking work.
As part of an adverb, Shirley talks too f*cking much.
As an adverb enhancing an adjective, Shirley is f*cking beautiful.
As the object of an adverb, Shirley is f*cking beautifully.
As a noun: I don't give a f*ck.
As part of a word: Abso-f*cking-lutly¯ or In-f*cking-credible.¯
And as almost every work in a sentence: F*ck the f*cking f*ckers.
As you may realize, there are very few words with the versatility of F*ck.
As in these examples describing situations such as,
Fraud: I got f*cked at the used car lot.
Dismay: Aww, f*ck it, Trouble: I guess I'm really f*cked now.
Aggression: Don't f*ck with me buddy.
Difficulty: I don't understand this f*cking question.
Inquiry: Who the f*ck was that.
Dissatisfaction: I don't like what the f*ck is going on here.
Incompetence: He's a f*ck off.
Dismissal: Why don't...
Tawi.. Apparently you are not allowed to circumvent the swear filter!!
(Dont make me edit that lot!! It`ll take me all ******* day..You do it!)
