EN: tacky outfit, cheap-looking attire
It's the 'outfit of the day' (#OOTD) that looks like it was assembled from a series of questionable life choices and ukay-ukay finds from 1998. It's not about being poor; it's a specific aesthetic of clashing colors, weird textures, and a whole lot of 'sana all' confidence. The opposite of a 'slay' fit.
Combination of Tagalog 'kanal' (gutter, low-brow) and English 'fit' (outfit).
ROOT MEANING: low-brow, crass, tacky, gutter
A very recent slang term popularized on social media platforms like TikTok.
