EN: brownie points
This is the currency of a guy trying to win a girl's heart. It's like collecting reward points, but instead of a free coffee, you get a 'seen' message replied to. You get +10 pogi points for opening a door for her, +20 for remembering her favorite milk tea order, and -100 for forgetting your anniversary. It's a high-stakes game.
From Tagalog "pogi" (handsome) and English "points". A Taglish compound noun.
A colloquial, modern term used in informal conversations, especially among younger generations, to denote earning favor through charming or helpful acts.
