it's a word, it's a verb, it's derived from our president's pet name!

aside from its allusion (and perhaps imagery) noynoying, whether we like it or not, has gone viral and, yikes, global.  so what is noynoying in the strictest sense of the word--- new, neither here nor there, hybrid (taglish, englog, noylish, noylog or whatever)--- in other words?

What you need to know about 'Noynoying'

Here are some basics to sharpen your noynoying knowledge.

What is Noynoying?

According to youth group Anakbayan:

Planking is out, noynoying is in.  Just sit or lie on the ground and do nothing.

A Guide to Noynoying has also been released:

1) Get a group, 2) Find busy public space, 3) Abruptly, everyone sits/lies on the floor and acts lazy and stupid.

Noynoying has also been defined as:

..that idle moment when you are supposed to do something but is not doing anything.

ha ha ha ha!

Noynoying has become viral and has become a trending keyword on Twitter and other social media sites.  It has a twitter account @noynoying and a facebook page.

Here are some examples of how it is used:

Oh my... I don't know which is worse: to be called "imeldific" or to be caught "noynoying"! (via @ang_mungo)

That's a good idea.  Today, I will go noynoying!  May hostage crisis ba kamo?  Kakain lang ako. May bagyo?  Pa-party ako! (via @MangPandoy)

That's funny, yung “Noynoying” sa amin, verb din na ang ibig sabihin ay “date ng date ng date, pero hindi nagpapakasal.” (VocabHomework via @gangbadoy)

Palace definition

The Palace has contributed to the definition (and actually has defined noynoying very well).

According to Spokesman Lacierda: Noynoying creative but has no effect.

(Spot on Mr. Lacierda!  Everyone agrees that noynoying is useless and is no good.)

Spokesman Coloma meanwhile says: Noynoying is annoying.

(Uhm.. yeah.  We all hate noynoying.  Kills productivity.  Super annoying or should we say, annoynoying.)

Noynoy Aquino himself has articulated its definition in his interview: How do you show the truth to people who do not want to see?  How do you make people listen to you if they do not want to listen?

(Exactly, Mr. President.  That’s what people think of noynoying too!  You hit that sweet noynoying spot right there.)

Wikipedia entry

On the other hand, "Noynoying" now has its own entry in the open-source online encyclopedia Wikipedia.

The Wikipedia entry defined "Noynoying" as "an internet meme that defines an effortless pose, or activity consisting of sitting or standing around, in an unconcerned manner."

It said the word is "a parody of his work ethic as President of the Philippines." (LBG, GMA News)

di gyod.  it loses its luster.  mahimong edsa ad nauseam.  can you imagine an edsa 1,002?  or there may no longer be an edsa (the avenue) because our congressman wants to change its name to cory aquino avenue.  weird.

The Empire Strikes Back...





Days after President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III was accused of "Noynoying" or idling in his job as president, Malacanang Palace has released several photos of the chief executive working on his desk.

NOYNOYING: The reason why the term “Noynoying” has caught on and even landed in international media is because it is true, very descriptive, and widely applicable to non-performing public officials.

Even if pressure were to be applied on such Internet sites as Wikipedia to delete the entry, the new word coined by Filipino street protesters will stay. It has taken root, thanks to Noynoy Aquino himself.

The term has been given various meanings, all related. To many of us, it simply means for someone expected to act on a problem to just sit there and do nothing.

Malacañang may want to adopt as slogan the Spanish line: “¡Qué dulce es no hacer nada y descansar después!” (How sweet it is to do nothing and to rest afterwards!)

COCKTALES: Noynoying - fact or mischievous spin?
21-Mar-12, 3:20 PM | Victor C. Agustin


With no less than the Asian Wall Street Journal having picked up the Noynoying propaganda chatter against PNoy, Cocktales did a quick fact-check if the country's chief executive had indeed been loafing around as his detractors paint him to be.

First, let us assume that the President of the Philippines is expected to work Mondays to Fridays only, just like any government employee.

Next, we give PNoy credit for holding public engagements on weekends and holidays, when the rest of government salarymen are taking it easy.

What do the available public records show?

For the first week of January, PNoy just like many Filipinos seemed to have trouble shaking off the holiday bug, having taken no official or public engagement on the first and even the third working day of the year.

Before the long Yuletide-New Year break, PNoy was last seen publicly on December 23, when he attended the traditional Christmas welcome for returning workers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

The holiday mode was broken the first Sunday of the year, when, if you may recall, PNoy and a number of grim-looking Cabinet members held a hastily-arranged press conference to warn about a possible terrorist attack (that thankfully did not happen) on the Black Nazarene procession the following day.

Other than that, PNoy had, as government-speak have it, "private time" for the rest of the Saturdays and Sundays of the first month of the year. Likewise, he did not have any public engagement on January 23, a Monday.

The leap month of February began with PNoy absenting himself from any public engagement on the second day, a Thursday, as well as on Valentine's Day.

The bachelor president did, however, make up for the February 14 absence by appearing on the first Saturday at the Villamor air base for the Family Rosary Crusade, and following week's Sunday by flying to Aurora province. He also had a series of Edsa 1 events on February 25, a Saturday.

The first week of March started off with PNoy missing even from the friendly Malacanang reporters on March 7 and 8, right after ringing the opening bell at the Philippine Stock Exchange to mark the bourse's record climb.

The President then went on a stealth mode beginning Saturday until Thursday, March 16, when the Palace issued a single photo release showing P.Noy on his desk going over some documents.

The Malacañang explanation was that the chief executive had not been feeling well, apparently for days already, thus missing even an appointment long set up by his key financial booster, Ramon del Rosario of the Phinma Group.

In any case, the President seemed to have felt much better that weekend that he helicoptered up to Baguio to attend the annual PMA graduation rites.

Unfortunately, Monday, he was again missing in action.
