psychicpants.net: Being the True, the Good, the Beautiful and Definitive Meaning of Jologs

Being the True, the Good, the Beautiful and Definitive Meaning of Jologs

"...Jolog came from Jolina....loose and wide pants that were huhulog-hulog (kept falling). "Hulog" later was spelled "Julog" until it was pronounced "ju-log"...actually originally spelled as 'diyolog' which stands for dilis (anchovies), tuyo (dried fish) and itlog (egg)--the food of the poor. And it was used like this: 'Oh, look she eats diyolog..."

Really fun reading. It kind of shows how diverse and "maleable" our language can be.
