A common Filipino term used to describe a hand-gesture of approval. Hand-gesture is described to be in a form of a right-handed thumbs-up wherein thumbs are flinted against each other by two persons when a task is completed as a sign of approval. Origin of the word is said to come from a Spanish-based creole called "Chavacano" which is a mixture of Visayan dialect and Spanish language. The word is a combination of two words which are 1.) from the Visayan word of "santik" which means "flint" in English and 2.) from the Spanish word "aqui" which have in time mutated to "aki" or "ki" on the Spanish-based creole which means "here" in English hence "santik" + "ki" = "santiki".
Pedro: Hey Joe, can you build a bonfire or something?

Pedro: Cool!!! Santiki Joe! *raises right-handed thumbs-up*

Joe: Santiki! *raises right-handed thumbs-up* *flints his thumb to Pedro's thumb*

A mythical being taught to young children as a fact. In American culture, Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter bunny are the three primary Santoids. The Stork is a more minor one used to explain where babies come from.

People typically learn the truth, sometimes even from their parents, by 12. They learn that their parents placed the gifts under the tree, took the tooth and replaced it with money, hid eggs at 3 AM, and one night they got together and...you know.

The name comes from "Santa" plus "-oid", meaning "Santa-like."

Some say that Santoids are used to allow children to think critically and question everything.

Others say they are used as secular substitutes for Jesus, or as a way of commercializing Christmas/Easter. In the case of the stork, it is to protect their fragile developing psyches.
"Sinterklass is a Santoid that Scandinavians teach their children. It is just like Santa, except it isn't."

"In the minds of atheists, God is just a Santoid some people never grow out of."

"Monsters under the bed. The Scary Santoid. By three, you go through nights of no sleep, but by 6, you realize it is just a coat."
