EN: can handle; can do (emphatic/playful)
This is 'keri' with extra ~*pizzazz*~. It's the fun, flamboyant, and slightly more powerful older sister of 'keri'. You don't just say 'keribels'; you declare it. It implies you can handle the situation with style and maybe even a hair flip. It's the "I got this" for the fabulous.
An embellished form of "keri", which is from English "carry". Common in Filipino gay lingo.
ROOT MEANING: can handle; can do; okay
Very informal and playful.
