EN: tacky; low-class; trashy
A modern, slightly classist slang for anything considered "jologs," "baduy," or low-class. Derived from "squatter." It's what you'd call that weird font with too many curls, a ridiculously loud outfit, or someone causing a scene in public. It's the aesthetic opposite of "sosyal." Use with caution, as it can be quite offensive.
A diminutive/adjectival form derived from the English word 'squatter', which has a strong socio-economic connotation in the Philippines.
ROOT MEANING: informal settler
A derogatory slang term. Its use can be seen as offensive and classist. Often spelled as 'isquami'.
