EN: sissy (effeminate man)
A Pinoy slang term, often used playfully (but can be derogatory), for a guy who is effeminate or gay. It's like the more casual, sometimes affectionate, cousin of 'bakla'. 'Ay, sissy!' can be an expression of surprise, camaraderie, or a gentle jab among friends.
From English "sissy," derived from "sister." Adopted into Philippine gay lingo (swardspeak) and general colloquial use.
The tone can vary greatly from derogatory to affectionate depending on the context and relationship between speakers. It's often used as a term of address among gay friends.
