EN: loafer; idler; one who hangs out
The professional 'standby' artist. The kings and queens of the kanto (street corner). Before 'WFH' (Work From Home), they perfected 'AFH' (Away From Home... doing nothing). It's not just about being jobless; it's a lifestyle of chilling, observing, and being the unofficial CCTV of the barangay. Derived from the English 'stand by'.
Colloquial corruption of the English phrase 'stand by'.
Can have a slightly negative connotation implying laziness, but is often used neutrally among friends to mean 'to hang out'. The verb form is 'tumambay'.
