EN: middle class; panggitnang uri
You're middle class if you can afford a Samgyupsal dinner, a new phone on installment, and a Grab ride when it's raining, but you still check the price tag on everything and your blood pressure spikes when you see your Meralco bill. You have just enough to be comfortable but not enough to stop complaining. The sandwich generation's battleground.
From English "middle" + "class".
The term is used directly in both English and Taglish. "Panggitnang uri" is the formal Filipino equivalent but is less common in casual conversation.
