What is this word maganda??? Does anyone really use it?
Some foreign girls I know use it to describe women who are full of themselves and shout at waiters, nouveux riche, whereas it's supposed to be a country geezer fresh into town holding onto his old ways, so I hear.
Um...

can you describe some of the old ways? lets see who comes up with the funniest description. I will start with an example of a magandar. 1, wearing a jacket but not bothering to put his arms in the sleeves.

So it's not a newly rich Nisantasi housewife who faints at the sign of an undesirable in her cafe and screeches at the waiter to purleeze change her soda for one with more bubbles in it.

Trousers at half mast with a ferret in his pocket? Tutting at the totty in short skirts? Grumbling to himself as he wanders the streets in search of his donkey he left tied up to a rubbish truck? Peanut sellers who make you recite rude things in Turkish?
I'm getting a bit too old Galata man generalist here...

Jesus! That is a widespread problem. BO. I was given an airfreshener by a departing colleague to use in such emergency situations for when office boy comes in office and stinks it out. Do they not know? ??
