FIL: Isa pang balbal na anyo ng salitang "pare," na hango sa "repa" at dinagdagan ng hulaping "-kol" para sa karagdagang diin o istilo.
EN: buddy, pal, dude
This is 'repa' on steroids. It's the level-up version you use when 'repa' or 'pare' just doesn't have enough punch. It’s got that extra ‘oomph’, like adding extra rice to your siomai meal. Often used with a friendly slap on the back.
From 'repa' (inversion of 'pare') + the stylistic suffix '-kol'.
ROOT MEANING: dude, bro, male friend
Very informal and often used for comedic or emphatic effect among close friends. The '-kol' suffix adds a layer of rugged, street-smart affection.
