    The first time I visited Cebu in 2016, at the airport I asked the lady where can I get a taxi. She then said “kadyut lang Mam ha!” :frust: Kadyut sounds sexual gestures in Tagalog! :confused:

    I think he wanted to know what is it in Tagalog not the Visayan word which is actually “just a moment Mam!” But of course as I asked in Tagalog, the lady should not assumed I am local to understand what is the meaning of “kadyut” :frust: Which is very rude word in Tagalog. :blackeye:

    I like the langgam though! It’s supposed to be ants but it’s birds in Visayan! :frust:
