FIL: (Di-pormal na baybay ng 'buwisit') Isang tao, bagay, o pangyayari na nagdudulot ng matinding inis, pagkabigo, o kamalasan.
EN: Annoyance; pest; jinx
The modern, text-friendly, and more common way to spell 'buwisit'. It's that person, thing, or situation that makes your blood boil. The Wi-Fi that disconnects during a ranked game, the client who keeps asking for 'minor revisions' that are actually a full rework, the 'seen' message with no reply. That's a bwiset.
From Hokkien 無衣食 (*bô-i-sít*), meaning 'without clothes and food' or 'unlucky'. Informal spelling of 'buwisit'.
Extremely common informal term. 'Buwisit' is the more formal, dictionary spelling, but 'bwiset' is king in chats, social media, and everyday speech.
