EN: heckling, teasing, jeering
This is the national sport of Filipino *barkadas*. It's that friendly (or sometimes not-so-friendly) teasing you get when you finally show up with a "special someone" or when you trip on a flat surface. "Uy, 'di na-inform!" is a classic *kantiyaw* opening. It's the sound of your friends lovingly roasting you.
From Hokkien 姦譙 (kàn-kiāu), meaning "to curse" or "to scold vehemently," but has evolved in Tagalog to a lighter sense of teasing.
Often done in a group setting, like during sports games or friendly gatherings. It's a form of social bonding, but can cross the line into bullying if not careful.
