FIL: Isang uri ng matibay na tela na karaniwang gawa sa bulak, at ang kasuotang gawa rito, partikular na ang pantalon.
EN: denim; jeans
The official uniform of the Filipino people, from the palengke to the mall. Your 'pambahay' can be maong shorts, your 'pang-alis' is a nice pair of maong pants. It's the one piece of clothing that has seen your best days and your 'sana lamunin na ako ng lupa' moments.
From Cantonese 馬騮 (maa¹ laau⁴), meaning 'monkey,' a historical slang term for people from Macau, where the fabric was produced or traded. It evolved to refer to the fabric itself.
Can refer to the fabric (denim) or the pants (jeans). 'Pantalon na maong' is more specific for jeans.
