Today In Closet

Lunch started being used as a verb in 1811. One year before it became a noun. The idea of "having lunch" came from "We will be lunching at noon" rather than the other way around.

Here are funny and erroneous Filipino English expressions that have been perpetuated over time.

Commute

What Filipinos mean: when someone uses public transportation.
What the English word means : to travel, period.

Salvage

What Filipinos mean: summary execution especially done outside the public's eyes.
What the English word means : to save something.

Next next week

How it should be phrased : week after next

Tuck out (shirt not tucked in pants)

Tuck out? Untucked is the proper term.

Main branch

No such thing. Should be main office.

Long cut.

No such thing. 'Long' and 'cut' are in fact contradicting. Should be 'long way.'

There is a lot of Filipino traffic here. We get a lot of our traffic at US night time. Good representation from Australia as well.
