gatekeeper

Someone who has the mindset that 'if you're not a fan/part of this (famous figure, a trend), you absolutely cannot join. Someone who always make things more complicated, always adds a controversy or an issue to a certain trend.

These gatekeepers are often found in the Philippines, making memes out of trends.

"Hey, avatar is now available on Facebook! Should we try it?"

"Yes, we should. But we need to take care— gatekeepers are on their way to make a meme out of this trend."

gusion

Gusion is commonly known as character in the famous multiplayer game called Mobile Legends; but recently, Filipino teens made 'gusion' as a seemingly nonsensical humor. It goes on with any situations, say it anytime and Generation Z Filipino teens will automatically laugh.

Boy: "Hey, I like you."

Girl: "No I'm sorry, I don't find you attractive."

Boy: "Haha gusion"

short haired chinita gf

A recent trend that gone famous in the year 2020, in the Philippines. Male Filipino single teens use this word when they remember that they're still single; and a short haired chinita gf is the specific female that they want, though its really just a joke.

Filipino boy 1: "Man, I'm tired of being single already. I just want a short haired chinita gf that'll take care of me."

Filipino boy 2: "Bro, I'm hoping the same thing but that's too impossible. Lets just hope someone will still love us, lol."
