FIL: Isang salitang balbal na tumutukoy sa isang bagay, tao, o lugar na sosyal, elegante, o magarbo.
EN: fancy; high-class
The sound you make when you see your friend's new condo in BGC. It’s when the Jollibee meal becomes a ten-course tasting menu. It’s the 'sosyal' or 'classy' that's a bit more playful and less intimidating. "Wow, ang **shala** ng outfit mo today!"
A popular Gay Lingo term that entered mainstream slang, possibly an embellished form of 'sosyal'.
Often used with a tone of admiration, sometimes with a hint of playful envy. Can be intensified by repeating it: 'Shala, shala!'
