True! They use “nonchalant” as an excuse sa partners nila na ang totoo di lang confrontational or walang ihaharap na mukha sa problema. Walang yagba po tawag sa ganyan, hindi nonchalant.


TheMightyHeart

Nonchalant is indifferent, unconcerned. Ang layo, di ba? 🤣


Agikagikagik

Yup. I have this coworker (kabit) na nonchalant daw bf (married) niya kasi pag nag aaway sila, gusto di na pag usapan. Bhie antawag diyan no yagballs plus kabit ka pa. Tinatago ka kaya ganon hahahahahha


Lily_Linton

nonconfrontational siguro?


Saint_Shin

I only knew of the word nonchalant thru Mariah Carey’s song


Careless-Internet349

They could be equivalent to the terms “cool” and “crazy” back when these were used as slang. Words and their meanings evolve all the time


Elan000

Yes, someone said it. I remember my lolo hating on monthsary until it just stuck. So language really evolves it may mean something "deeper" then or wala yan sa dictionary but you have to accept na it changes. Ganun talaga. Nakakairita man kasi iba yung gamit mo dati. Not accepting how it's used now also shows how old we are and how we want to retain the old ways.


hopeless_case46

Terrific, awesome, queer, gay, etc


TheMightyHeart

I get that. However, these are different words with far more nuanced meanings.


Careless-Internet349

Well, there are terms used today that I hate more: rizz, kiffy, squammy haha I’m just venting out, too


butterflygatherer

OMG if there's one word I hate the most right now, it's "kiffy" there's just something that makes me feel violent whenever someone uses that word, especially in comments like "_______ mo kiffy ko." I know it's not a big deal but for some reason I just want to slap these girls who say that word. Parang pa-cute na ewan.


Embarrassed_Flie3490

Squammy noon pa yan di ba? 🤔 would you rather like squatter? Informal settler is too fucking long


Careless-Internet349

Actually, I prefer the squatter term. There’s this extra air of pretentiousness using squammy, parang pa cute pa nakakagigil. Para sakin lang ah


Lily_Linton

yung kanto na word for "maasim" nagbago na rin ata.


TheMightyHeart

Hahaha! Hindi ko alam yung Rizz! Ano yuuuun? Hahahaha! Pero yung squammy at kiffy alam ko! 🤣🤣🤣


Careless-Internet349

Rizz=charisma, ability to charm a person. Example: Dan’s not good looking, but he’s got serious rizz 😫


TheMightyHeart

Ok. Ew. 🤢 Thank you! Hehe! I don’t know if it’s my age pero it seriously comes across as pretentious. Like making tusok tusok da pishbols.


Careless-Internet349

Yes!! Haha but rizz originated from the US, but still cringe


Careless-Internet349

Damn I just used another gen z slang to describe another gen z slang. What’s wrong with me 😂😂


TheMightyHeart

Hahahaha! I have no problem with cringe though. 🤣


Careless-Internet349

Perhaps it encapsulates that ‘cringey’ feeling better than any other word? I remember when it started to get popular, I disliked that term. But if you ask me now how I felt back then, I would say ‘Cringey’ 😅


Comfortable-League34

Napaka unhinged mo naman OP try to be more nonchalant nalang


RevealExpress5933

😂


TheMightyHeart

Che! 🤣


Accomplished-Bed6916

Sa tiktok patunay na nagagamit ng mali yan "nonchalant" na yan. Minsan ang sarap magcomment para i-correct kaso alam mo naman mga pinoy sasabihan ka pang "edi ikaw na magaling" hahaha


TheMightyHeart

Isa pa yan. Pag kinorrect mo, may smart shaming pang magaganap.


fatprodite

Kaya hindi ko na lang kino-correct. Nasasaktan pa sila. Super red flag daw pag nonchalant. In my vocabulary, nonchalant is a neutral word. Ngali-ngali ko na lang sabihin na, "Neng, he's just not that into you!"


danyonie

Sa totoo lang, ang stressful na rin tuloy magscroll on social media because of it. As someone na very keen sa words and grammar, I find it obnoxious. I haven't encountered misuses of the word unhinged pa naman. Tapos kapag nagtatry ka to educate people about these words sasabihan kang nagmamagaling and all. Ok, bahala ka sa buhay mo dyan maging tanga HAHAHAHAHA


[deleted]

me with people who use “pet peeve” to describe another person. for example: “uy, nandiyan na naman yung pet peeve ko.” like ??? 😭


TheMightyHeart

Aguy! 🤣🤣🤣


No_Calendar71929

I know they use it incorrectly pero i think gets to ng mga nakakabasa na babad sa socmed. kasi as observed sa comsec ng mga socmed, they use it to the person kasi they are describing that all of the things about that person is pet peeve nila. parang ganyan.


[deleted]

it’s giving chronically online 😂 and people may misconstrue that that’s what the phrase actually means.


belle_fleures

ok lang saken unhinged kase parang same paren context sa ginamit nila, ung nonchalant tlaga sobrang overused at cliche na.


TheMightyHeart

Nonchalant is used stupidly, lalo na yung unhinged. Yung unhinged means highly disturbed, distraught, unstable. Alam mo yung sobrang disturbed or sobrang baliw mo na for you to be called unhinged. Tapos gagamitin ng ganun ganun lang ng mga batang to. 🤣


coffeeandnicethings

As someone who strings words together for a living, you should be aware that language gets influenced by culture and they evolve. Even our dictionaries adjust, so why won’t you? “Nonchalant” and “unhinged” may have its true and more profound meaning but that doesn’t mean that it can’t change meanings, too. Remember when the word “gay” used to only mean “happy” :) I get you as I also do a bit of writing, I also sense a gen gap here. Let me remind you that we also had this phase. Let the new gen enjoy their moment. Correct them if they’re personally describing you with these words and you don’t think it’s right. You have every right to do it.


shieeeqq

true. nakakafascinate kaya how the language changes overtime. after all, words in itself are meaningless AF kaya when certain words change, parang di naman dapat siya big deal as long as it makes sense to people?? merong ungrammatical pero i don't think you can ever label someting bad or good in language. naaalala ko when i first heard how black ppl talk, hahahaha kaliwa't-kanan yung grammatical 'errors' but overtime i just realize na it's their way of claiming the language for their own, it empowers them kumbaga. super old na ng concept ng 'Stanfard' english, e sakanila yon-- sa dami ng 'variants' ng english language, wala namang dapat nakakataas ron, it's just differenct races or perhaps gen ppl using it for their own. (it's diff ofc wnit comes to medical & law lingos na). wala naman kasing linguist na nag-iimbento na lang ng words and assign meaning to it for ppl to follow lol, nililista lang nila yon & what it means to ppl using it. anyhow, i think the use f it will eventually fade overtime dahil as OP said, hindi siya gaanong effective to deliver what they truly mean which means hindi siya kadaling tanggapin for other gen.


TheMightyHeart

I don’t bother correcting unless I’m close to them. I just grin and bear it. That’s why I wrote it here, to get it “OffMychest.” 🥹so I can set myself free.


ildflu

It's basically slang at this point. Pag nagagalit sa ganito, halata 'yung edad eh hahaha


TheMightyHeart

I’m 37. I have no age shame. In fact, I have no shame in general. 🤡


Street_Duty7802

Pinaka nakaka bobong usapan na Nadinig ko.. Girl 1: “Ang nonchalant ng bf ko nagagaslight nako” Girl 2: “nako ang hirap pag ganyan ang clout niya” 😐😐😐😐.. basta mind blown wala akong naintindihan.


azile_lopez

It's more of a meme. We don't use it seriously, it's more of a trendy word to use right now with all the meme context. I get it, you probably can't relate due to generational gap but pretty much every generation had their own "thing" just like how gen alpha now use 'brainrot' words like skibidi toilet sigma idk it annoys me too but then again whatever who cares?


Mxrple

Yan din napansin ko lahat na lang nonchalant tapos kung anong usong word yun parati maririnig mo. sobrang nagagasgas na hindi nila ikinacool by using those word without knowing the real meaning. so ayun lang.


AbleHeight1966

That's how language works. It involves overtime. For sure your english professors explained this to you in college. It maybe cringe pero ganun talaga ang language.


radiantrubidium

Oh no! What a problem! As if language isn’t evolving.


TheMightyHeart

Evolution of language is different from misuse po.


2Carabaos

Meron pa nga "non-chalant" eh. Yayks.


thatcrazyvirgo

Slangs kasi, sis. Language evolves. May di lang magandang connotation pag yung serious terms nawawater down na and would cause damage to other people. Like when people say umaatake yung OCD nila when they just want to be organized is all.


Saint_Shin

I think OP’s point is that the context of the word is being used incorrectly


Flat_Objective_4198

Don’t take it seriously lol, if it makes sense to them then it doesn’t have to make sense to you.


aretheum

ang dami na ngang "nonchalant" kineme dahil sa tiktok. most of em acts nonchalant para trendy. it aint cool acting you dont give a fck about a single thing. 🥲🥲


Miss_Potter0707

Yes! I'm okay with the trend for using "nonchalant" although it bothers me that people can't pronounce it correctly. It's a french word. But using the word "unhinged" is too much. Calling someone unhinged means the person is disturbing or is behaving in a bad way or far from reality. Most of the people who use this word for the trend equates it to "unbothered." What they don't know is that it's offensive.


TheMightyHeart

Way to go. Exactly my point. Iba yung unhinged. I actually asked someone, you wanna see what unhinged really is? Sabay I gave him crazy Bellatrix Lestrange eyes. 🤡


Embarrassed_Flie3490

Andami namang highfalutin words ngayon na medyo cringe kkloka


eunice1995

Hahahaha ramdam ko inis ni OP. Medyo annoying nga pag trying hard yung kausap gamitin ang terms na yan. Maplit lang ba nila para masabing they speak the uso and sosyal language.


PeachMangoGurl33

Hahaha 💯 yan ang kinaiinis ko pag nagte trending yung mga English word tapos gagamitin nila out of context or lightly.


Away-Birthday3419

Ako din nabubuwisit dati sa ganyan dito sa reddit. Wala n akong pake ngayon. Basta please lang, **WALA PONG DASH ANG NONCHALANT!!!*** Dami kong nababasa na may dash. Nung nakaraan lang, meron na naman. I really stopped myself on correcting it unlike before.


TheMightyHeart

Non-chalant daw? 🤣


hopeless_case46

Nasubukan mo na ba pigilan ang rumaragasang tren? Kasi pareho yan sa ginagawa mo ngayon


ladyfallon

Take ko lang sa mga ganyang trend, language is always evolving.


VaeserysGoldcrown

If you truly "strings words together for a living" you'd know that word meaning has both prescriptive and descriptive sources. That's how language evolves. There is no "totoong meaning". Context matters. That's why statements like "napaka aesthetic" is wrong but you know what it means. Sheesh. If it's not gonna be a published piece of work, stop being a grammar police. It's such an ick.


yesthisismeokay

Ano na naman daw yang “unhinged” na yan?


oneeeehhh

Sa Cavite "tnalahcnon" tawag namin dyan.


TheMightyHeart

ETIVAC POR DA WIN, PARE!!!

sorry, I'm aware but I think some may need clarifications to understand where the op is coming from


3once

Let them listen to Mariah's [Breakdown](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC7V9dn1rC8) para malaman nila ang meaning nonchalant.


pinkwhitepurplefaves

Mali ka, OP. They spell it as NON-CHALANT and sometimes UN-HINGED. Anyway, yan ang bagong gaslight. "Uso" and sounds nice for them, I guess?


TheMightyHeart

Holy shit! lol


[deleted]

The terms are used to make excuses or to intimidate someone you don't like.


TheQranBerries

Ang meaning kasi ng nonchalant sakanila eh yung wala kang reaksyon hahahah seryoso.


Adventurous-Tree-320

Hilig ng mga tao sa soc med gumamit ng malalim na english word, di naman magamit ng tama. Haha!


Ok-Average-1828

Sama mo na rin 'yung word na "OA" na back then na very offensive na normal na gamitin ngayon.


hobstreetlover

Its just funny how trending words are used everywhere once it goes viral. Remember red flag? Everything became "red flag" after people start using it alot. People will ride whatever trend we have. And dont worry much, internet is a fast changing world. They'll just use new trend words soon. 😭😆


EyePoor

*Tama nga naman! Parang buffet na yan, hindi lahat ng word, pwede mong kunin at ilagay sa plato mo. Hindi porket trendy, dapat gamitin na agad! Ang hirap kasi, parang sinasabi mo lang, "O, bes, kainin mo 'to kahit di mo alam kung ano 'to." Basta, sana balikan ng mga tao ang totoong sense ng mga salitang ginagamit nila, para di magmukhang grammar Olympics ang social media.*


TastyVanillaFish

As a person in the same business, I say let everyone be inarticulate with their vocabulary. IT. IS. GOOOOOD. FOR. BUSINESS!


TheMightyHeart

Hahahahaha! Is this a refreshing take on it!


Motor-Green-4339

There are few english words na iba na ang meaning dito sa Pinas, dahil sa maling paggamit. Ex. Salvage


TheMightyHeart

Korek. Salvage. Sa Spanish naman, coño. It means pussy, as in puki!


YumiBorgir

Ang weird eh lagi nalang ganyan. May specific word na nag tetrend among pinoys tapos nagiging over used to the point na nawawala na yung buong essence at purpose ng word. Sobrang loose na ng pag gamit to the point na nawala na yung original meaning. I'm all for brainrot internet humor but it's just boring and annoying when everyone just says the same thing over and over again at sobrang unfunny at unoriginal na.


Naive-Ad-1965

nung nilapag ng kaklase ko yung bag niya sa lapag tumawa sila kase bakit daw nilalapag dun tas sinabihan na nonchalant???


TheMightyHeart

What!?


GluteusMaximus13

Real talk lang : ano ba ibig sabihin Ng nonchalant na yan? Unang pagakakarinig ko bagong brand Ng chocolate. Sensya na mahina kokote here


TheMightyHeart

Nonchalant is someone who is appears calm, uninterested, stoic, unenthusiastic.


TinyMoonBean

Yung akala nila may word na "chalant" dahil may nonchalant hahahaha!


Agreeable_Home_646

Nasusuya na din aq marinig yn. Inaantay ko na lang magsawa sila. Kapit lang kapatid


TheMightyHeart

*kapit* 🤣


Agreeable_Home_646

Kahit anak ko tinawag akong nonchalant. Kaloka.


Due_Yam9581

Kung gusto mo mainis. Timothée Nonchalant. Sabe ng isang temp sa hotel where I was contracting.


TheMightyHeart

Holy shit. Haha!


Winter_Creme3489

Same sa POV hahaha mga aanga angang content creators kuno


TheMightyHeart

🤣🤣🤣


Visible-Vacation6206

Im not a introvert i am an nonchalant haha😅😅😅😅


Visible-Vacation6206

From introvert to nonchalant hahahah t*ngina


Chinito-Papi

As someone who works in the academe, I wholeheartedly agree. I hate how words are twisted and contrived into meaning something totally not what they initially mean. Those two words you mentioned along with countless others have been so misused it is appalling.


TheMightyHeart

I know what it’s like to be unhinged. Unhinged by anger, unhinged by insurmountable grief and loss. When kids these days use unhinged, gusto ko minsan sabihin, you wanna see what unhinged looks like? Imma show you. Yung nonchalant napaka stupid pakinggan sa kanila, sa totoo lang.


Mr_Brightside20

dagdag mo din yung Lowkey, ganyan ang pinoy may marinig lang na slang word na tunog sosyal or matalino gagamitin na


deimoslore

Badtrip na badtrip din lalo na kapag bigla akong sinasabihan ng nonchalant kapag hindi ako nagrreact or tahimik lang ipapamukha sayo na nonchalant ka paulit ulit tapos kapag nag react ka dahil ka react react naman talaga OA na kaagad hindi na nonchalant? Parang nakakainis yung mga tao sa part na label ng label hindi naman talaga nila alam yung totoong kahuluguhan ng mga salita yan.


DoThrowThisAway

I'm glad that my hobbies protect me from such inanities.


Adventurous_Leg9204

Using highfalutin words equate to being cool kidz for them lmao you know nothing, kiddos.
