EN: jokingly, in jest
The disclaimer you use after saying something savage. 'Uy, pabiro lang!' is the Pinoy equivalent of 'Just kidding!' It's how you test the waters with a risky joke or soften a harsh truth. Use it wisely, or you'll end up saying 'Sorry na' instead.
From `pa-` prefix indicating manner + `biro` (joke).
ROOT MEANING: joke
Often used as a way to soften a statement that might be taken offensively.
