EN: thrift store finds
It's that "OMG, this is branded but I only paid 50 pesos" moment. The holy grail you unearth from a mountain of pre-loved clothes in an ukay-ukay. Your reward for having the patience of a call center agent handling an irate customer and the arm strength of a kargador.
From Tagalog 'ukay' (to dig, rummage) + English 'finds'.
ROOT MEANING: To rummage; To dig through
Primarily used by Gen Z and millennials, especially on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram to showcase their thrifted items.
