EN: five; a failing grade
A word with a dual personality. On the streets, **singko** is the five-peso coin for your pamasahe. In the University of the Philippines, **singko** is the stuff of nightmares—the 5.0 grade that means you've failed the subject and have to face the 'walk of shame' to your professor's office. It's the ultimate "game over" in acads.
Mula sa Espanyol na 'cinco'.
The meaning of a failing grade is specific to certain universities, most notably the University of the Philippines (UP).
