tagalog

Dialect spoken by many Luzon-based Filipinos. Tagalog is generally regarded as the lingua franca among Filipinos at home and abroad, but there are several other dialects spoken across the archipelago, and there is some sensitivity about treating Tagalog as definitively "Filipino."

Also refers to the ethnicity of Tagalog-speaking natives. One theorized origin of the word is "taga-ilog," meaning "from the river."

The Tagalogs speak Tagalog.

pogi points

Nonmonetary imaginary "points" awarded for polite, witty, cool, or otherwise positive behavior exhibited for the purpose of impressing a female courtship partner or her parents. From pogi, Tagalog for "handsome."

Opening doors for one's girlfriend's mom earns major pogi points. Opening doors for one's girlfriend's dad is just plain sipsip.
