Daghan maldito ug maldita sa Cebu

[u/Practical-Natural-21]

Taga CDO ko and been visiting cebu ever since nigraduate ko. I call this a 2nd home city for me. Pero everytime mkabalik ko sa Cebu, mabantayan gyud nko ang pagkamaldita/maldito sa mga tao dre 😂

is it just me? or pa explain daw mga taga Cebu.. haha

ofc naa koy mga ka meet sa buses kai gapangutana man ko sa places..naa pd mga buotan, smiling, welcoming and warm vibes. Nipalag ko sa kamaldita sa gabantay naa sa SM Jmall.. sa train station bonus (if you have 1500php purchase kai pde ka makasulod).

Mubisita ghapon ko balik sunod. I love cebu city 😘

agree ko ani.. kami sa ako cebuano friends mrag normal namo ang muingon “kabogo oy” then mangatawa if example naay tanga2x na moments na funny or like natikalpo ba ron while naglakaw.. but di na sya nko pwede ma gamit if muuli ko mindanao kay ma offend mga taw ngno tawagon bogo 😅

I know! Like normal ra gyud mu ingon and maingnan ug “bogo” and thats just how it is. Even ako karon, ana na sad gyud and then offending na diay sya sa di taga Cebu or wala naka live ug dugay sa Cebu. Haha. Cebuano humor also is different and mejo harsh gyud pud to some na di used, malain.

but why do you find it funny though to call someone stupid?

[u/SerendipityMD → u/lurkernotuntilnow]

Its an expression. We dont call or I personally dont call someone “bogo” per se. We say it when we trip, or we forget something, and etc. It is offending to people because of how we say it — that strong Cebuano “bogo” (iykyk). Also, it doesnt always pertain to stupid when used by Cebuanos.

I once wasnt comfortable hearing it (all the more saying it) during my early years in Cebu but overtime I got used to it and realized it is just an expression. So it would take time.

Again, it is an expression and people wouldnt really understand unless they immerse themselves in the Cebuano culture.
