EN: an insinuation, a sarcastic remark, a pointed comment
The official language of Filipino social media drama. It’s a "subtweet" in real life. When your friend posts "Sana lahat loyal" on Facebook after seeing their ex's new post, that's a pasaring. It's a guided missile of shade, expertly launched to hit a specific target without naming them. The art of "patama."
A modern variant of the archaic `pasari`.
