Conyo: the culture that defines social classes

Conyo is a spanish term for the female genitalia. Although in the Philippines, it is an umbrella term for someone who speaks tagalog and english combined, Or what they call, "taglish". But conyo is a different world altogether. In fact, when we say conyo, it automatically refers to those of higher status or those who are more fortunate in life. In this page, we will talk about the ten things that defines what conyos are and what do they do.

1. The use of "Like"

A lot of them uses "like" and "parang" in conjunction with their sentences. Sometimes they use one word and lot of times they use it together.

Example:
"Ano kasi besh you have to be like, parang, cute to be noticed by your crush kasi"

"Dude ganito kasi, you have to like carry it above the number so it will make tama your equation na." 

2. "Make" as a supporting verb.

They almost use this with all their action words. Whatever they do, they add make.

3. Duuuuuuude.

Dude, pare, chong or sometimes altogether, "dude pare chong" is quite a staple for conyo men conversations.

4. Expensive Coffee

Of course, if there is a language that defines social status, there will also be a staple drink to say that you are "rich". These conyo people usually hang around in expensive cafes like Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, and Tim Hortons. 

5. Bar Hopping

If you are rich, and young, there is nothing more fun to exhaust your youthful energy engaging in social gatherings such as bar hopping and clubbing. These people with money to burn has memorized every bar in their area and are usually the regulars there.

6. The Letter G!!!

Instead of Game, conyo people invented the abbreviation G! to shorten what to say, usually through text mesaging.

7. YAYA, HELP!

A lot of conyo people have yayas with their condos. Of course, if you're rich and you're busy with everything, who's gonna take care of the house? That why they all shout together, "YAYAAAAA!!!!"

8. It's soooooo

This is another staple in a conyo conversation. The formula is this, "It's so adjective". 

Example: It's soooo mainit! I'm naglalagkit na.

9. "I CAN'T!! I CAN'T EVEN. I CAN'T EVEN FINISH THIS SENTENCE"

What does the phrase "I can't even" means still remains a mystery to the non conyos. Maybe we need to delve more to context clues.

10. You know? I know right!

What do I know? Nothing. I know that I know nothing. Just kidding. You know might be an indirect translation of "Ano" in Filipino as this phrase follows the same context.

So, have you already defined yourself as conyo? Or are you the people who are still baffled by them? Would you use conyo or just stick to one language at a time? Stay tuned to more blog updates in the future.
