Re: English - Made in the Philippines
Actually some of the words you refer to are actually accepted English words that also equate to the definitions you give and are not only used in the Philippines in the manner you specify:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_lane
Course here it isnt a traffic management tactic, but rather a driver tactic
E.g. the person was a Purse Snatcher.
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=racket
E.g. in the US there are Anti-Racketeering laws
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/anti-racketeering+law
This is actually an accepted form of Traffic management. Whereby a lane on a highway may be used in different directions depending on the time of the day to assist in traffic management.Astig wrote: Counter Flow - This happens when vehicles drive opposite the flow of their lane.

This is actually the proper English definition of this word and is in common English usuage.Astig wrote: Snatcher - Pick pocket
E.g. the person was a Purse Snatcher.
This word is used in the manner you define within english usage, though when used in this context usually alludes to 'less then honest' business practices.Astig wrote: Racket - Alternative source of income

Re: English - Made in the Philippines
I remember when an officemate mentioned that term to my former American employer and he said "what the hell is that?" and that gave me an idea that it is only used in the Philippines. But due to the fact that you made a research and an existing proof, then I guess my ex-boss just doesn't know it is really being used.Counter Flow - This happens when vehicles drive opposite the flow of their lane.
Salamat sa research kuya Rey.

Re: English - Made in the Philippines
Although, hindi ako sure sa iba pang terms, I believe marami paring english na ginawa lang ng mga Filipino. Since second language na ng Pilipinas ang English, siguro napapaghalo na ang mga no-direct-translation Filipino terms sa English kaya nakakabuo ng mga terms na hindi accepted sa English countries or meron itong ibang kahulugan.

Re: English - Made in the Philippines
One term I heard recently at a Training Session from some of the ladies I coach (University Philippines Touch Rugby team) was
Addict
I forgot to ask what was the meaning ascribed to it, but I gather from the context it was used that it had been Philippinized

Sorry thats another common English term anywhere in the English speaking sphere.guilliam wrote: Quickie - a short time sexual act or sexual act in haste.
Course if you dont believe me, go up to any waitress in the US/UK/AUS and see what their reaction is if you ask them:
"Hi, fancy a Quickie"
:P
