EN: insinuation; snide remark
This is the official weapon of choice in Filipino passive-aggressive warfare. It's that comment your officemate makes, 'Wow, ang aga mo umuwi ah, sana all,' which really means 'You're leaving early while we're still swamped with work.' It's an art form, really.
Likely from a Hispanized word related to the idea of a 'touch' or a 'poke', combined with the Filipino prefix 'pa-'.
Often used in the plural, 'mga patutsada'. It is a close synonym of 'parinig' but often implies more malice or directness in its indirectness.
