EN: mistress
The 'other woman' in a teleserye. The one who gets her hair pulled and has water thrown in her face by the legal wife. It’s a scandalous, old-fashioned term for a mistress. If your tita whispers about someone being the 'kulasisi' of a rich businessman, you know the chismis is piping hot.
The origin of this slang meaning is unclear, but it is speculated to be related to the kulasisi bird being a colorful, 'kept' pet.
A pejorative and somewhat archaic term for a mistress. 'Kerida' or 'kabit' are more common in modern parlance.
