To help out the Malacañang bright boys, here is a selection of mild explosions that the “Bossing†can use as substitutes for his favorite but widely unappreciated p**tangina:
Nampucha, anak ng bakang dalaga, tinamaan ng kulog, anak ng pating, lekat, putragis, anak ng tinapa, lintik, pinukpok na itlog, gardemet, che-let, lastima…
There are many more cusswords not unkind to the ears that we can add to this selection if we mine Ilocano, Bisaya and other Philippine languages and dialects. But I leave this chore to Digong’s image-makers, assuming they are serious about finding ways to make his colorful speeches startle-free, or which will send no one to paroxysms of vexation, just, at the very least, a cruise to a soft landing.
