Charon

Charon, in Greek mythology, is the ferryman of the dead. The souls of the deceased are brought to him by Hermes, and Charon ferries them across the river Acheron. He only accepts the dead which are buried or burned with the proper rites, and if they pay him an obolus (coin) for their passage. For that reason a corpse had always an obolus placed under the tongue. Those who cannot afford the passage, or are not admitted by Charon, are doomed to wander on the banks of the Styx for a hundred years.
Charon ferries the dead across the river Acheron not the river Styx.

charot

Just kidding.

Charot. Char. Char lang.

It’s gay lingo that’s being used by most when delivering a half-meant joke or when they say something true or sometimes exaggerated, to have a lighter mood.
“Yaman mo na ah! Pautang naman ako! Charot!” (You are already rich! Lend me some! Charot!) Praising the second person and jokingly ask to borrow money.

“Wow. Namayat ka. Makapag-diet na nga din. Char lang!” (Wow. You got thinner. I should have my diet also. Char lang.) Interpretation: I want to have the same goal as you, but I don’t want to do it or I can not do it.
