Okay but why are Filipinos saying Fish Balls?

neril_7 t1_ja66an4 wrote

It's a well known street food here in the Philippines. It's not as bad as it's sounds. It's just the fish cakes you put on Korean or Japanese hot pots (ours are ball shape) but we deep fry them instead.

The Jewish do them too, Matzo Balls or something like that. They're yummy.

Edit: apparently I have no idea what those are made of lol. It's not fish.

Really? What are they made of? I were told they were fish balls.

They’re traditionally made with leftover matzoh, which is a bread.

It's so amusing to me that to an outsider, eating fish balls sounds weird as fuck.

There's squid balls too. Also good.

They probably slanging fish balls or truly love that street food so much they had to personalize their plates to profess their adornment for it publicly

Same reason why white people in a bar say great balls of fire.

>great balls of fire.

Usually because they are great jet fighter pilots about to be taught by their late father's friend how to become legendary fighter pilots.

"Pisbols" is Tagalog for "fish balls." I'm going to assume the driver is Filipino since they have the Filipino sun & stars decal.

Far be it for me to disagree with noted polyglot u/helladopex, but this is not Tagalog.

No my dear friends, this is obviously a reference to the fact, for men, pee is stored in the testicles.

Hence, 'piss in the balls' or 'pisbols'.

"Ok what do you want the custom plate to say?"

"P - I - S - T - O - L - S" he said, muffled behind a cheap cotton facemask and plastic kiosk barrier.

"P - I - S, ... B... - O - L - S?" the teller asked in disbelief.

"Fuck yeah, you heard right.", replied rugged the California man with shoddy hearing.

"Alright.. that'll be $225. Cash or card?"

I do hear filipinos accent tend to get deeper the more south you are

TheMelv t1_ja8hmth wrote

Not deeper, just different because the dialects change as you go South. They get deeper farther away from major cities on average with people promdi (from the) provinces.

"Fish Balls" is a Filipino snack or street-food, it's basically a round shaped fishcake that we deep-fry and dip into different kinds of sauces.

"Pisbols" is basically how Filipinos with heavy accents would pronounce it.
