A busy place in The Philippines, particularly in Manila (the capital). This is where you find almost anything you need from legal to illegal. A lot of Muslim(and some rare non-Muslim) Filipinos are in here selling pirated DVDs and MP3s of all sorts. If you are looking for a cheap source of anything.. this place is probably for you.

This is also a bountiful place of snatchers, hold-uppers, kidnappers, and petty thieves. So if you are planning to hang in here, make sure you walk fast, always check your bags/luggages (or never bring them at all), and be ULTRA sensitive to the movements in your back. Bringing unecessary expensive gadgets here is highly unadvisable as sooner or later, it will end up in second-hand stores there where they would sell it for half the price.

This is also a good place to buy second-hand stuff... only if you know how to distinguish usable from unusable second-hand stuff.

A lot of Universities sit here too, like the Quiapo Parochial School...
(A petty thief tries to open his backpack)

Thief: What the-- how did you??--
Manileno: I grew up from Quiapo you thief! I know all of your tactics!
Thief: Ohh.. that explains about everything...

quipportunity

A quipportunity is the fleeting moment when a clever response is both timely, and funny.

Etymology: The word is an amalgam of 'quip' and 'opportunity' capitalizing on 1) the shared 'p' and 2) the fact that the 'portunity' portion of the word opportunity carries all of the meaning even without the displaced prefix.
I recently had a missed quipportunity when I told my sister that we saw the 2012 "Spider-Man" movie, and she asked how it was. I said it was "awesome," but the missed quipportunity was to reply, "Amazing" (since the name of the movie is "The Amazing Spider-Man").

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
