drop a dime

To snitch on someone. Often, to save their own ass. Comes from the old cost for a payphone call, ten cents.

"John got popped, so he dropped a dime on his supplier and they let him go."

Taylor Marie Joy Alison "Inang Kulot" Dimagiba Finlay Batumbakal Swift

The aforementioned name is a satirical/stereotypical name for singer Taylor Swift in the Philippines. The extra names were added to ridicule how many of the people also have such long names. The whole name has since then become a meme in the Filipino media, in which people use the name ironically to refer to the singer.

Taylor Alison Finlay Swift are all from her legal name, the additional names and their origins are stated below. The joke originally started as "Taylor Marie Joy Batumbakal Swift", and since then, many other names have been added.

Marie and Joy are commonly found in girls' names, where Marie comes from Mary/Maria, the most common name in the country; Joy is stereotypically associated with service workers, such as nurses, cashiers, and stewardesses.

Inang Kulot is an allusion to her curly locks. Inang means "Mother" in a familiar tone, Kulot simply means "curls".

Dimagiba is fairly an uncommon last name, though it is a reference to an old joke played in radios. Dimagiba, short for 'hindi (not) magiba (breakable)' means "invincible", or "never broken". full joke: look up "Short pinoy joke english class"

Batumbakal (lit. lodestone, bato = stone, bakal = metal) is also an uncommon last name, though it does hold a deep native origin. Like Dimagiba, it seems to have originated from a joke, albeit obscure. full joke: look up "batumbakal filipino joke"

Altogether, it sounds like the name of the girl you'd play chinese garter together in the neighborhood alleys.

she is the moment
