On our way home after school shopping ( which was just supposed to be a quick hair color pick up) after the dental appointments of the boys, Pherry, out of the blue said, " are you promdi or sosi?" In unquestionable Mickey Bustos voice, a nod to his Filipino roots. Then the other two started screaming like crazy and leads Josh to ask, " is that the bald guy? If yes, I know him too!" Pherry ask what sosi means and and I told them it's a slang/play of words to social/sosyal which has been mean to be acting upper class in Filipino societal norms. With a few more examples, Pherry then said, " do you mean promdi is?" And they all start to giggle. Hahahahha, it's promdi, "from the province" as suburban people. Promdi connotes no class, cheap, Jologs The closest I could think of is like suburbs people but it's not exactly.
But that's not the story. They then go on and say, "wahahahaha, from the province is promdi coz you guys interchange f and p!" That's right! Otherwise it would have been FromTheProvince but it's PromTheFrovince or promdi for short.
That's all, goodnight folks.
