A Collection of Funny Bisaya Memes and Their Meanings

"Liwat Nako" means Resemblance or both look the same.

The most famous bisaya meme is "Pag sure ba? Kay mag biko ta!" it means being skeptical and then insert the word "kay mag biko ta" which means "So let's cook rice cake". Cooking rice cake in the Philippines means there is a special occasion or something to celebrate for. 
"Unya?" means "So?" and "Gwapa naka ana?" means "You look pretty in that?". This is a sarcastic way of telling an over confident,over dressed, over make-up person in a funny way. Warning! Don't say this in older people 'coz they will probably get mad at you. It's a sign of disrespect. 

 "Pastilan!" is somewhat similar to "Darn!" or " Damn It!" then they add this "Bright kaayo bata-a" which means "This kid is smart!" but actually the meaning is inverse and more of a sarcastic way of saying you're so dumb!
"Ang mukatawa" means "If you laugh" then "Kay Gwapa" means "you're pretty". This is like a way of teasing someone. It's like you dare that person not to smile or else that person will look ugly, pretty, joking or any adjectives you'd like to use. 
"Pakusi-a ko" means "let me pinch" and "sa bugan beh" means "your crotch". A person trying to use this meme say this in a gay voice manner. 
"Kas-a pa gani" means " Say it one more time or do it one more time" then "ayyppptt!" means "or else..." in an angry manner. This meme means you are angry or pissed. 
"Tabang Lord" means "Help me Oh! Lord!" and "naay buang oh!" means "there's a crazy man here". This meme never fails to crack me up.
"Lisud pud" means "It's difficult or It's impossible". We use this expression when the topic of the discussion is self explanatory and the person talking just can't get it. It's more telling that person to have  some common sense.

#2 Visayan Words: Their Meaning and Usage (Funny Expressions)

Hi! I'm back! Today, I'm going to teach you some funny words, sentences or lines used by Visayans when joking or talking funny things or funny expressions. You might have heard them regularly but don't understand what's their meaning. Hope you'll all enjoy this lesson and goodluck!

1. Istoryahe or Estoryahe - this is a funny expression when you think the person is just teasing about you. Istorya from the word "talk" but when you say "istoryahe" it becomes a verb equivalent to the word "talking". It's somewhat similar to "talk to the hand" but when you use this, you add the word "kamot" meaning hands. So, "talk to the hand" in visayan language it's "istoryahe ang kamot". But eventually, you may just use the plain word "istoryahe" in what you think the situation is somewhat funny or awkward. Example is when somebody tell you that you look great in your outfit today but you think it's not, you will just say the word, "istoryahe". It's like you want to repel what the person is saying but in a funny way. But this word evolved a lot in so many ways, mostly, this word is use if you think the person you're talking to is corny or talking nonsense.

2. Mao Ba? - this expression is really popular when talking to a Visayan person. The word is equivalent to "really?" and "are you sure?". Example is if you try to compliment a girl's shoes and if she's a little bit shy or awkward about it you saying that to her, most of the time you will hear that their answer is "mao ba?". It's like the person is acting shy why you compliment him or her.

3. Buanga! - this word simply means "crazy". It's from the word "buang" meaning "crazy" but when you use "buanga!" it denotes an expression of similar to "this is crazy". You can also add more words next to "buanga". Example is "buanga nimo oi!" meaning "you're crazy!". 

4. Amawa! - it's a term for being foolish and sometimes dumb. You just use this word plainly. Example is if a friend of yours talks about his funny experiences about his exes and you will have nothing to say. You may comment something like "Amawa oi!".

5. Mao na na!- this phrase means "now that's what will happen!" or " now that's the fact!". The meaning is really similar to that in the English language. Example is if a friend of yours keeps exposing her expensive cellphone in the jeep then somebody snatched it. Your expression to her would be like "mao na na!" it's like telling her you already know that it's dangerous to expose your expensive things while on public but she keeps doing it so it's like blaming her or it's like making her feel worse about it or it's her fault.
