Forum Support Popular Post Mike J Posted March 15, 2017 Forum Support Popular Post Posted March 15, 2017 My wife and I were walking one day and a little boy spotted us. He then ran for his nipa house while shouting something in Visayan. My wife laughed as she translated it for me. "Mommy, mommy, I just saw a Kano." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something similar happened to me last weekend at the beach. To giggling little boys running past "uno kano." I turned and looked and they laughed and ran away. Haven't been called "Joe" yet, and other than the boys, no "kano" either. Edited March 15, 2017 by Reboot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SNAFU Posted March 15, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 15, 2017 Pretty much every day I'm out and about for me, but I take it as a term of endearment. Kano, too. Just don't call me late for dinner, heh! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virginprune Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 I get it often around here, I usually just smile or wave if from a passing vehicle. When I first came here my instinctual reply to " Hey Joe " was " where are you going with that gun in your hand? " but it was lost on them so I gave up! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post earthdome Posted March 15, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 15, 2017 I had 2 teenage girls say Kano from behind me at the Baguio market. I jumped around and said "Kano?", "Where?". They broke up laughing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never understand why some people get upset about it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
