POTS

This word is recently coined slang. It’s one of those funny coinages that Filipinos often come up with by blending English vocabulary words that sound like Tagalog words, as well as mixed-in grammar conjugation.


Try to follow along:

The English word “Okay” is often shorted to “K”

K happens to be short for Potassium

Shorten “Potassium” and you get “Pots”

Now you can use “Pots” to mean “Okay”


Slang aside, the actual Tagalog word for a clay pot is palayok.
