A language native to the southern part of the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The Tagalog language is the main base language for the one of the official languages of the Philippines, Filipino (the other official language is English). The language, like most of the languages of the Philippines, is related to Malaysian, Indonesian, Hawaiian, Tongan, Somoan, some southern Taiwanese languages, and many more that are included in the Austronesian group of languages. The language has about 18 million native speakers. Tagalog can also refer to the Tagalog people.

Get the tagra leche mug.An annoying individual who acts as a leach and keeps pestering and following you or your friends around. Unable to take care of themselves, conversations are usually one sided and dull, full of narcissistic self-talk.
Nobody likes the narcissistic tagalong and his guilt-tripping. Get a life and get a hobby, pathetic tagalong.
