In the Philippines, we also have a word for "snacks that go with alcohol". It is called "pulutan".

Pulutan is traditionally a dish with a very strong taste, like minced meat that is sauteed with onions, or raw fish in vinegar. In modern times pulutan has begun to include peanuts and chips.

other words I like , without English translation:

"pasma" - a physical condition where one feels sick and hot from the body or any of its parts being subjected to a SUDDEN change in temperature, as when someone ironing clothes suddenly washes her hands with water or someone who just finished hard physical labor takes a bath.it is not something like a medical term, but rather akin to a folk illness. it may seem like a a superstitious or primitive belief to foreigners but for us this belief is a part of everyday life.

"nagdilang-anghel"- literally to mean "suddenly had the tongue of an angel". the term must have come about after the Spaniards colonized us, w/c brought Xianity. if someone had "the tongue of angel" it means what he said came true. when someone makes a prediction, people wish that he gets or has "the tongue of angel" so the statement would come true.

"pagbabalik-loob" -literally means "to go back inside". it's something like going back to your inner self or inner soul in order to attain deliverance, redemption or higher spirituality or connection with others. the term is used only in relation to spiritual or moral things, as when one returns to religion. The term "Introspection" doesn't come close because it involves dualistic acts of thinking and feeling whereas our term connotes spiritual or soul rebirth.
