Palo Ringer T-Shirt

Posted on July 22, 2010 by Ernie

My friend Will has a great phrase when imitating his Filipino Mom, usually imitated in a thick Tagalog accent: “I will clobber you with my chinelas,” or slippers. I always found the phrase funny and imagined that the only thing Filipino parents do is pass a Magic Mike and beat their children. (This is because I’m Chinese, and thus, we’re only susceptible to psychological abuse.)

Wear this Palo Ringer T-shirt ($25) as a reminder of your childhood or use it to discipline your children; the choice is yours.

(Editors note: “Palo” means “beat, whip or spank” in Tagalog.  Hat tip: Mark A.)

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - .
(Nah, it's cool; just take me back.)
