A term used by vehement Marcos supporters to refer to ultra-supporters of the Philippine political party known as the Liberal Party. It originates from the party's flagship colour being yellow, which in Filipino is "dilaw". Often it will be seen used as an accusatory label when someone speaks negatively of the Marcoses.
People and groups associated with the term include the Aquino family (of whom two became president and one died by an assassination ordered by Ferdinand Marcos Sr.), human rights lawyers, ABS-CBN, and anyone critical of the Marcos family for any reason (no, this is not an overstatement).

Get the dillwanker mug.A derogatory term used by Dungeons and Dragons enthusiasts to refer to a particularly annoying player, usually one who is playing as a wizard. Not only does "dillwand" refer in a direct sense to a wizard's wand, it insinuates that the person in question is a phallus (i.e., calling someone a penis.)
