awts gege is an expression used in the Philippines. It is used when someone found something
sad and painful. It probably originated from the Filipino word, "
awit" (which is also an expression, not the english translation of 'song'.)
The word "awit" consists of two words which a Filipino grouped together (for
whatever dumb reason that is). These two words are "aw, sakit" (
BTW, the english translation for the word "sakit" is ouch.). so, combine them together: aw-it. (aw-ouch)
Now, why awts gege?
Simple: it's the word "awit" shortened (not really) added with the words: sige sige (gege or in english meaning: ok, ok)
Now, combine it. Awts gege.
(My fellow Pilipinos really know how to make words trend. Sigh. (:)
