What’s your favorite Filipino-English acronym? 🤔 *After shocking our American friends with the Filipino acronym “KKK” in our last video, in this episode, we decided to focus on acronyms that might be uniquely Filipino despite using English words!* 💜 This video features: @LexandKris - Canada @wydreacts - Australia @afterthethemesong - United Kingdom @D2naSoaring - USA @sogoyu - USA
You dont necessarily rest at the restroom and you dont take a bath on a powder room but you find comfort after peeing or shitting on a toilet... hence Comfort Room
CR or comfort room ... it is because they choose that name mean for "Relieved" yourself from sudden feel uneasy or having emergency want to release you know those wastes... But in official, comfort is more on taking care to other person like feeling.
"Comfort room" was the American colloquialism for toilet when they conquered the Philippines in the early 1900s. The name just stuck through the decades.
MILF right now is not a rebel group anymore, they have their own government but still part of the Philippines because of Bangsamoro Organic Law, MILF also helps the Philippine Government when ISIS take control over Marawi on 2017, If some people doesn't know MILF even though they are Filipino because this is the reason and their name now is BARMM meaning Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, So "A rebel Group" should be "An old Rebel Group".
@@zankonkuna Correct, and their struggle and cause was much more legit compared to Abu-Sayyaf and ISIS. And no, they were not funded by the US. The Mindanao conflict runs deep into Philippine history and has nothing to do with the US.
@@johnmichaelcanares2633 Yeah, the reason why the group made was because of the Jabidah Massacre, and the Philippine government acknowledged the Massacre, for the peace talks.
@@johnmichaelcanares2633 Right now they have their own President/Chief Minister named: Murad Ebrahim, who is also one of the chairmen of the MILF so MILF and The Philippines are friends now, and I really hope some of the countries do this route instead of war and conflict.
@@zankonkuna I know right? I'm so glad that this has been resolved and to think that some youngsters doesn't even know what MILF is. That goes to show that conflict in Mindanao is a thing of the past now. It is not perfect, still but we're on the right path. I grew up with this mess and it was not always safe to go around Mindanao during that time. Like for example I grew up in Iligan City and whenever we go through Lanao del Norte to go to Ozamis, there was always that risk of being caught in the middle of the conflict. There were always soldiers and bases stationed in our city. So I'm happy that this thing is already in the past and that we can finally look forward for a better Mindanao.
Just to clarify: Initialisms are where a new term is made using the first letters of a phrase. However, you may pronounce them as a new word (NASA, LASER, RADAR, etc.) or by the individual letters (FBI, CSI, SOS, etc.). If it's a new word, it's also an acronym. And if you start from the word and make a phrase it's a backronym. But if it's by the letter, its stays an initialism. In this case, the MILF they are familiar with is an acronym. The Filipino one is an initialism, that is, each letter is pronounced.
Hello! Actually they were all reminded before doing the video that all of the acronyms featured were meant to be pronounced by the individual letters. But for some reason most of our friends decided to just say the term "MILF" haha 💜
90% of the world suffer from LSS due to constant enjoyment of music, singing, and in some parts of the world, late night karaoke, but with your help, LSS can be mitigated. Help spread LSS awareness this month. Let's lessen LSS around the world, together.
we call it the CR-or Comfort Room-because there’s nothing quite like the relief you feel stepping out of it. After all, who doesn’t feel a wave of comfort after, let’s say, releasing some bodily pressure (either number one or number two)? And let’s not forget the rejuvenating power of a nice bath. Sure, we know that traditionally, toilets and baths are meant to be separate. But here in the Philippines, we’ve ingeniously combined them to make the most of our space. So when you say, “I’ll go to the CR,” it sounds a lot better than admitting, “I need to use the toilet”-which, let’s be honest, usually implies something less pleasant. Embrace the comfort; the CR is a sanctuary, not just a restroom!
the one girl keeps trying to make sense of all the examples in the context of American English when Filipino English has its whole sets of nuances and contexts. i think it's really interesting how people connect stuff to the closest thing they know to make sense of something new. it's really cool
To those asking why would a rebel group name themselves MILF, here’s what chatgpt has to say: The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) as a rebel group in the Philippines was founded in 1984. It emerged from a faction of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) during the ongoing conflict in the southern Philippines. The term “MILF” with the other meaning, commonly used on the internet as an acronym for “Mom I’d Like to F***,” became popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s, primarily driven by its usage in American pop culture, particularly in films like American Pie (1999). Therefore, the rebel group Moro Islamic Liberation Front came first, established well before the term gained its alternate meaning in cyberspace.
LSS was created bcoz Filipinos love music alot regardless of what type or genre so we often got songs in our head stucked especially the last song heard even unconsciously.
MU, or Mutual Understanding in the Philippines is not for many people in one situation.. it deals with the connection of loving or special emotion between two people only.. which could lead to a boyfriend/girlfriend thing if they make it official. 😊
@@KriegMeister No I'm filipino. We brand two people having MU if we realize they are super lovey dovey and all out caring for each other for the world to see, but not gf/bf yet.. if they become finally gf/bf then they're out of the MU phase. Although not all having MU ends up with each other.
British girl’s so good at guessing some letters of the acronyms omg? 😮 and to the American girl confused why it’s called comfort room is it for relaxing, y’all call it restroom but do you actually go to the bathroom to have rest?
They should've given sample sentences where those acronyms were used, so they can atleast get a hint or context and might guess some right or close to.
1. LL or LnaL= luwag-luwag or much money or simply you have extra money for other things. 2. OTW = on the way. It means you are coming. 3. HHWW =holding hands while walking.❤❤
Comfort room or whatever it's still the same thing with the restroom that doesn't make sense at all. If I first heard the word Comfort Room or Rest Room, I would think first that it is something like a bedroom or a room where you can rest and feel comfortable
Great to hear an honest opinion!! Different countries had different way of saying comfort room(lou, washroom and lavatory)with the same intent of purpose!!Thanks for sharing
The context of Mutual Understanding to my understanding is that the Philippines is a predominantly Christian country which frowns upon relationships outside of marriage. So MU is kind of like a stage before official courtship and marriage and is understood to not be about sex, but more of searching for a possible soul mate and meeting of minds. It's also why NBSB and NGSB came to be used to refer to those who never had romantic relationships before.
"NBSB" one is actually said, by people I know at least, almost pridefully. It's also a more polite way to say: "I'm tired of people asking, so stop asking." "MU" is a commitment to stop shopping around for a relationship but nothing physical yet, that's the "Mutual Understanding". Also someone once told me that "SLR" was established because replying late is considered impolite but common due to the spotty service/signal.
yes commonly cr is comport room in ph, ,it is usually for malls because toilet ,bath,powder room and changing set for babies diaper is all in one comportable room , , but toilet is use if its solely toilet alone, , commonly like portalit or on household and offices
LSS was coined before the smartphones, internet and spotify. It was the last song that was playing in the car stereo or from home (usually from FM radio stations) before going to school. Symptoms include humming the song the whole day in school. We didn't have smartphones back then. So we just hum or sang it.
As a Filipino aware that the term "earworm" is used commonly in the US, it's surprising to me that LSS is not actually something we inherited from there.
I enjoyed watching this. May I share my take as a Filipino? 1. I think CR is the most appropriate term. Can anybody deny the feel or disconfort when your bladder is about to burst, worse, you tummy about to download on your pants? And ohhh the COMFORT after you're done! Rest room? Who would like to take a nap in there? Wash room? Lavatory? Bathroom? Gimme a break. 2. MILF (the so-called rebels) has been in existence in the Philippines since the 70s if not the 60s... long before the "Mamas I ❤ 2 fkcu" was coined. 3. There's another one that's forgotten; K.J. meaning "Kill Joy".. (a wet blanket) or someone who don't wanna join the fun.
@@javerhanielcuyos7022 "Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written."

MU- Mutual Understanding was coined when Filipinos used to be more conservative as compared to nowadays where people are more open-minded. Anyways, men were expected to court the woman they like so MU usually happens during the courtship phase where the woman has not officially agreed to be in a relationship with the man courting her but she definitely likes him. So when the man stops courting her, then we could at least call them as MU.
Was @D2naSoaring talking about the book Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss? Cos I vaguely remember my husband talking about this too. We actually have a copy, I should check it out.
CR - Comfort Room. Very self explanatory. You don't go there to take a BATH or have some REST. You go there to release the tension in your gut so you'll feel COMFORTED. That's the logic.
Tbh in the MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) acronym is usually spoken one letter at a time rather than a word like "Mom I'd Like to F***". So rather saying MILF, its usually spoken M.I.L.F. one letter at a time. Though many Filipino males knows the confusion and usually jokes around about the weird acronym. Especially when the Philippine Government did ceasefire with them.
Others have commented already that we use "comfort" in comfort room not so much because the room itself is super comfy but to indicate it's a place to relieve discomfort (peeing or pooping). Also, it's considered more polite than saying "toilet" or "bathroom" because CR or comfort room leaves what we're going to do in there ambiguous. Kinda like how people say, "I need to go powder my nose" or "I'm going to the powder room" (although I don't know if people still say that). I remember when my peers started using "MU" mostly because they weren't allowed by their parents to date yet (Catholic country and while we can be liberal about other things, we can be pretty conservative with others). So this kept them and their partners exclusive while not being "official" and therefore get around parental prohibitions. Also it can serve as a sort of tentative step in the world of dating. They can slowly start to date this one person without them dating other people but not fully commit to actions/behaviors that are expected from a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship which they might not be ready for yet.
MU is actually situationship but less on physical and sexual relationship. This is actually more common in high school so it's like a toned down version of situationship. So like you are emotionally attached with each other, it's more on feelings. You have a mutual understanding of your feelings but you don't want to make it official.
We don't usually just say "MILF", we really spell it out as M.I.L.F. when referring to the rebel group..And given the Philippines is the texting capital of the world, it's not surprising we come up with a lot of shortcuts for words...
Call center Agents in the PH are called CSR (Call Center Service Representative) SLR is an old text acronymn at the time lol. I am shocked that got lost in time.
I love the addition of memes and the timing of the funny editing. The Le Sserafim/Luzon one at 14:11 took me out 😭😭 even the way all the other acronyms were pretty tame and suddenly we get MILF which is a REBEL GROUP; that went from 0 to 100 real quick 💀💀 p.s MILF (rebel group) is pronounced letter-by-letter, not similar to MILF in pop culture.
Bruh the part when she asked "does it rain a lot in the Philippines?" And then the child say no and start giggling while it shows tons flooded places got me so good XD
Wt f? I have no idea what some of these acronyms mean. And I grew up during the “acronym era”. The best I can remember is “HHWW.PSSP” “Holding hands while walking. Pa-sway-sway pa.”
I'm Filipino, born, raised, and living in the Philippines and I have never used most of these silly acronyms. LSS is actually called "earworm". I guess most Filipinos haven't heard of the word before.
MU can be similar to the "talking stage", getting to know each other with the understanding that both may be heading to a deeper and more exclusive relationship. But this doesnt always mean you two will 100% be a couple.
The le sserafim sound while highlighting Luzon in Philippines map was so hilarious 😂 the part when someone mentioned that SLR normalized replying late made me reflect life a bit 😂 THE MTRCB COMMERCIALS HAHAHAHAHA I love the humor of this channel 😂❤❤❤

Comfort room is called comfort room because you relieve your discomfort. (Need to poop or need to pee)
and we get people accepting rest rooms but get weirded out by comfort rooms.

Tbh in the MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) acronym is usually spoken one letter at a time rather than a word like "Mom I'd Like to F***".
So rather saying MILF, its usually spoken M.I.L.F. one letter at a time.
Though many Filipino males knows the confusion and usually jokes around about the weird acronym. Especially when the Philippine Government did ceasefire with them.
That dog meme cracked me up. 😂😂😂.
😂😂😂
Others have commented already that we use "comfort" in comfort room not so much because the room itself is super comfy but to indicate it's a place to relieve discomfort (peeing or pooping). Also, it's considered more polite than saying "toilet" or "bathroom" because CR or comfort room leaves what we're going to do in there ambiguous. Kinda like how people say, "I need to go powder my nose" or "I'm going to the powder room" (although I don't know if people still say that).
I remember when my peers started using "MU" mostly because they weren't allowed by their parents to date yet (Catholic country and while we can be liberal about other things, we can be pretty conservative with others). So this kept them and their partners exclusive while not being "official" and therefore get around parental prohibitions. Also it can serve as a sort of tentative step in the world of dating. They can slowly start to date this one person without them dating other people but not fully commit to actions/behaviors that are expected from a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship which they might not be ready for yet.
MU is actually situationship but less on physical and sexual relationship. This is actually more common in high school so it's like a toned down version of situationship. So like you are emotionally attached with each other, it's more on feelings. You have a mutual understanding of your feelings but you don't want to make it official.
We don't usually just say "MILF", we really spell it out as M.I.L.F. when referring to the rebel group..And given the Philippines is the texting capital of the world, it's not surprising we come up with a lot of shortcuts for words...
Man

Nice Video. 😂
the MILF one is just cruel... 😂😂
Call center Agents in the PH are called CSR (Call Center Service Representative)
SLR is an old text acronymn at the time lol. I am shocked that got lost in time.
CR/T&B/WC are also used in architectural plan though mostly in ph wc literraly is the water closet only not the room itself
This is so funny. Nice Video
I love the addition of memes and the timing of the funny editing. The Le Sserafim/Luzon one at 14:11 took me out 😭😭 even the way all the other acronyms were pretty tame and suddenly we get MILF which is a REBEL GROUP; that went from 0 to 100 real quick 💀💀
p.s MILF (rebel group) is pronounced letter-by-letter, not similar to MILF in pop culture.
Bruh the part when she asked "does it rain a lot in the Philippines?" And then the child say no and start giggling while it shows tons flooded places got me so good XD
Wt f? I have no idea what some of these acronyms mean. And I grew up during the “acronym era”.
The best I can remember is “HHWW.PSSP”
“Holding hands while walking. Pa-sway-sway pa.”
I'm Filipino, born, raised, and living in the Philippines and I have never used most of these silly acronyms. LSS is actually called "earworm". I guess most Filipinos haven't heard of the word before.
MU is Murag Uyab 😂😂😂😂
MU can be similar to the "talking stage", getting to know each other with the understanding that both may be heading to a deeper and more exclusive relationship. But this doesnt always mean you two will 100% be a couple.
9:14 😂
CR in The Philippines 🇵🇭. = WC in old English 🇬🇧 (water closet) = wk in old German 🇩🇪 (Wasserkloset).
THE LE SERRAFIM PART KILLED ME
9:49 made me laugh out loud that edit was diabolical
The le sserafim sound while highlighting Luzon in Philippines map was so hilarious 😂
the part when someone mentioned that SLR normalized replying late made me reflect life a bit 😂
THE MTRCB COMMERCIALS HAHAHAHAHA
I love the humor of this channel 😂❤❤❤
