FIL: Isang salitang balbal na nangangahulugang hayagan, lantaran, o matindi ang isang damdamin, opinyon, o kilos, kabaligtaran ng "lowkey".
EN: intensely, openly, obviously
The opposite of your "lowkey" feelings. This is when you're not hiding it anymore. "Highkey want to resign na." "Highkey crushing on that barista." It's stating your truth, your feelings, your desires out loud, for the whole Marites network to hear. It's being proud and loud about it, no more secrets.
English slang, from "high-key" lighting in photography, which reduces contrast. The slang meaning is an ironic reversal.
A recent English slang import popular among Filipino millennials and Gen Z. Used in Taglish sentences.
🇵🇭 Highkey naiinis na ako sa bagal ng internet.
🇺🇸 I'm obviously getting annoyed with the slow internet.
🇵🇭 Highkey akong umaasa na may 13th month pay sa June.
🇺🇸 I'm intensely hoping for a 13th-month pay in June.
