EN: gay man, gay person
Your friendly neighborhood gay best friend. "Accla" is the quintessential gayspeak term for "bakla." It's what you call your friend who gives the best life advice, can roast you into oblivion, and has a PhD in spotting red flags from a mile away. It's a term of endearment within the community.
A playful alteration of "bakla," a common feature of "swardspeak" or gay lingo in the Philippines. The transformation often involves changing consonants or adding syllables.
Primarily used within and by the LGBTQ+ community and those familiar with gay lingo. Can be used affectionately.
