EN: choosy, picky, selective
'Beggars can't be choosers' is a famous English saying, but in the Philippines, we have a word for the chooser: 'choosy'. It's what your mom calls you when you don't want to eat the ampalaya. It's what your friends call you when you've been single for years because 'walang pumapasa sa standards' mo. Being choosy isn't always bad, but be prepared to be called out on it.
From English 'choosy'.
Used exactly like its English counterpart but fully integrated into Taglish conversations.
