EN: queen of low-brow (culture/humor)
She's the icon who proves that being 'kanal' isn't just for the boys. She's loud, she's proud, and her humor can make a sailor blush. She's the one who'll order isaw with extra rice while wearing heels. An unbothered, unapologetic queen of the people.
Combination of Tagalog 'kanal' (gutter, low-brow) and English 'queen'.
ROOT MEANING: low-brow, crass, tacky, gutter
A title, often bestowed ironically or as a term of endearment, celebrating a woman's unapologetic and down-to-earth persona.
