EN: chassis (of a vehicle)
In the Philippines, this isn't just about cars. "Chassis" is a very common, often humorous, slang term for a person's body or physique. "Maganda ang chassis!" is a compliment you might hear from a tito or a construction worker, meaning "Nice body!". It's objectifying, but used so casually it's become a Pinoy classic.
From English 'chassis'. The slang meaning for 'body' is a local metaphorical extension.
Has both a literal, technical meaning for vehicles and a very common slang meaning for a person's body.
