EN: relationship material
The ultimate compliment in the modern Pinoy dating scene. It means you're not just for "fun," you're for keeps. You're the type they'd bring home to meet the titas and titos. You have good character, a stable job (or at least a plan), and you know how to peel a shrimp. You're wife/husband material, but make it slang.
Isang modernong hibridong salita mula sa salitang balbal na "jowa" at ang Ingles na hulaping "-able".
ROOT MEANING: boyfriend/girlfriend, partner
Used to describe someone who possesses qualities desirable in a long-term partner.
