The mother of all placeholder words. If your brain lags and you can't find the right noun, verb, or adjective, just insert "churva" and everyone will still probably get you. "Kunin mo 'yung churva sa ibabaw ng table." It's a testament to the Filipino talent for understanding the unsaid.
From Filipino gay slang (Swardspeak). A highly popular and versatile placeholder word.
