Just think about it, no more lost nights and money doing research, or reduced health from breathing in the dust from 100 year old books. We will then all know that there is just one simple answer to all our questions.

Thus the allure of the Sandata will fade for non-Filipinos, and we can go on to horde them all to ourselves Oh wait did I say the quiet part out loud again.

Federico, good idea, brother.
But, what is "pig-sticker" in Waray-Waray?
Spunjer can say it the Illongo way, Zel will say it the Aklanon/Batangueno way, I'll say it the Tagalog/Kapampangan way, Themorningstar will say the Tausug way, Mabagani will say it his way, Battara his way and so on and so on.
Then we'll have a new list of names to be confused with.
