/WAL-wal/
FIL: Isang salitang balbal na tumutukoy sa kalagayan ng pagiging lasing na lasing o pagpapakasaya nang walang pakundangan, lalo na sa inuman o party.
EN: wasted (drunk)
The battle cry for when you want to forget your deadlines, your ex, and your adult responsibilities for one night. To be 'walwal' is to party with reckless abandon, to drink until you're 'wasted,' and to wake up the next day with a killer hangover and a phone full of questionable photos. It's the Filipino 'YOLO.'
Likely onomatopoeic, from the sound of vomiting or talking drunkenly. The original meaning refers to being wide open or agape, like a mouth or a wound, which has evolved to mean 'uninhibited.'
Primarily used by millennials and Gen Z. Can be a verb (magwalwal), adjective (walwal na), or noun (pagwawalwal).
🇵🇭 Tara, mag-walwal tayo mamaya, sweldo naman!
🇺🇸 Let's go party hard later, it's payday!
🇵🇭 Sobrang walwal niya kagabi, hindi na makatayo.
🇺🇸 He was so wasted last night, he couldn't even stand up.
