EN: to act gay; to exhibit gay mannerisms
This is the verb form of being an "accla." When you're "accling," you're not just existing, you're *serving*. You're turning a simple walk to the sari-sari store into a runway show. You're making your coffee with a flourish. It's the act of infusing any activity with that signature flair, drama, and wit. "Stop accling!" is what your straight friends say when you're being too much (which is never).
Derived from "accla" by treating it as a root word and adding verb-like English suffixes or using it in a verb context, typical of Taglish and gayspeak.
ROOT MEANING: gay man, gay person
Used humorously. Can also be used in a gerund form, "pag-accling."
🇵🇭 Tigilan mo nga 'yang pag-accling mo, nasa harap tayo ng kliyente.
🇺🇸 Stop acting so gay, we're in front of a client.
🇵🇭 He started accling the moment the camera was on him.
🇺🇸 He started acting gay the moment the camera was on him.
