FIL: Isang salitang balbal na idinurugtong sa isang pahayag upang ipaalam na ito ay isang biro, hindi seryoso, o isang kasinungalingan.
EN: just kidding; I'm joking
The OG "get out of jail free" card for anything you said that was either too honest, too harsh, or a complete lie. It's the verbal equivalent of the 😉 emoji. You can confess your undying love, then immediately say "charot!" to save yourself from embarrassment.
Origin is debated, but it's a staple of Filipino gay lingo that has become mainstream. Some theories link it to 'char' (as in burnt/fake) or the Visayan expression 'aron ingnon' (to make it seem).
Can be used to soften a harsh truth, retract a statement, or simply indicate a joke.
