Putang ina

A "polite" way to tell someone he or she is a son of a bitch. This is because literally, it means "Your mother is a bitch" which kind of makes you the victim child of a bitch. Still, it is a strong insult because we Filipinos love our mothers.

Pambihira ka, putang ina mo.

Get the Putang ina mug.

putana

The most basic translation is SLUT, not necessarily a paid whore or prostitute. It is normally derisive and used to label a "loose" woman, to put it nicely. In some parts of Greece, however, it is now used as an infomal term of address not meant as an insult. Think of the term "player" in the US, except as it applies to a woman. Most, however, would take the word a severe insult equivalent to "malakas" for a man.

The word originated in Greece, but it is now commonly used in Italy, Turkey, and generally the Eastern Mediterranean.
